QF: Psychedelic light - warning!
"Psychedelic" as an adjective is often misused, with many acts playing in a variety of styles. Acknowledging this, author Michael Hicks explains:

To understand what makes music stylistically "psychedelic," one should consider three fundamental effects of LSD: dechronicization, depersonalization, and dynamization. Dechronicization permits the drug user to move outside of conventional perceptions of time. Depersonalization allows the user to lose the self and gain an "awareness of undifferentiated unity." Dynamization, as [Timothy] Leary wrote, makes everything from floors to lamps seem to bend, as "familiar forms dissolve into moving, dancing structures"... Music that is truly "psychedelic" mimics these three effects.

AMA - a short film by Julie Gautier
09.03.2018
JULIE:
"Ama is a silent film. It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions.
I wanted to share my biggest pain in this life with this film. For this is not too crude, I covered it with grace. To make it not too heavy, I plunged it into the water.
I dedicate this film to all the women of the world."
Comments on YT explain the sad story behind this video:
. I thought it was so beautiful and graceful when I saw it, and then so sad when I found out what it was about. Imagine the water as amniotic fluid. Your baby lived “underwater” for 9 months. When it was time to be born, it came closer and closer to the surface, but never quite made it. Giving up the bubbles at the end means giving up on life. There are no words for such grief.
.Having gone through a miscarriage myself, I have a much better understanding of the choice of movements. It captures both the grief and the beautiful short life of a human growing in the womb. With each leap higher and higher, the baby becomes more and more beautiful with each passing moment, until a violent end to the struggle for life is reached at around 4:40.
Then there is the mother in between these sequences, trying to move forward in life while the mind is still living in the past, moving backwards.
I lost my composure at 4:53.
And then when the lifeless makes its way out by rising to the surface. But they never had the chance to take their first breath.
Both are heartbreaking and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you, Julie and the rest of the production team.
.I think one of the most effective parts of it (for me, at least) is at the end, where the breath she's been holding for so long breaks the surface, but it never does...
.Interpretation aside, this performance is/was amazing.
As a professional diver, I can and will say that what this woman did in 20 feet
of water is incredibly difficult. How she maintained neutral buoyancy the entire time
The performance is beyond me and my 40 years of diving...
thanks!

Dispositif Récif - Karukera Ballet : Cie William Cardoso - Baby
William Cardoso is an choreographer and dancer based between Luxembourg and Portugal. In France, he works with Clara Villalba and Olivier Dubois (intern). He also engages in performative experiments with artists Florence Peake and Eve Stainton. In Luxembourg, he works with various choreographers such as Jill Crovisier, Giovanni Zazzera, Léa Tirabasso,... among other national artists. He joined Fabian Thomé Duten's company in Madrid. Later, he joined artist Andreas Constantinou's Himherandit Productions in Aarhus, with whom he has worked for a long time to this day. It has been also involved with the artist Valerie Reding on a political engaged project called Monsters."It’s all about suspension, restraint and letting go. The movement is much like a machine, once you start it, you let it do its own work. It continues endlessly, like a spiral that rises from the earth. Authenticity and instinct – how to untie knots and open doors. Finding identity and personality in the process of moving through space and time. My work is about getting lost in the real world and catching the soul and spirit in an inner world. Changing emotions, traveling with them. Playing characters, living them – finding yourself in them. The studio is a playground where there is no room for judgment. It’s all about trust and sincerity, about connecting with the other, about receiving, giving and exchanging. - During the workshop we explore the body through improvisation. We will be sharing some material of our works in order to play around with it."

REEF DEVICE
Framework, mutual aid, foundation, strengths, fragility, diversity, anchoring, nurturing...
Like these words resonating with the thought of a coral reef, Karukera Ballet wishes to build an artistic reef, like a network of identities and colors, in order to accompany the artists and to develop together tools that respond to the particularity of a territory.
Récif is a support centre for companies and dancers in the region, whose main objectives are to support creation and support the professionalisation of performers.
This project is supported by the DAC GUADELOUPE and the PREFECTURE OF GUADELOUPE, the FEAC Ministry of Overseas Territories, the Guadeloupe Region, the city of Le Moule and the 3CL-Luxembourg, in collaboration with LA SCÈNE NATIONALE L'ARTCHIPEL.
