Catalogue of 6th EIVV, International Meeting on Videodance and Videoperformance, 2019

Abstract

In the 6th edition of the EIVVV, Encontre Internacional de Videodansa i Videoperformance, we have noticed the immense moment of creativity that videodance is experiencing. Year after year, we observe the increase in the quantity and quality of the pieces received. In this last edition, in addition to the 632 pieces received from all over the world, we have asked certain authors for more pieces to deepen their journey and we have counted with the addition of local productions. We will be able to see works from countries with an interesting and little seen production, such as Iran, Lebanon or African countries like Nigeria and South Africa. We have put the focus on certain authors to see their creative journey in their presence showing multiple works from different stages of their creation, such as the choreographer and director Dina Veryutina (Russia), the director and performer Fenia Kotsopoulou (Greece), the director of hybrid works between dance, fashion and video art Hadi Moussally (France/Lebanon) or the performers and directors the Samaya Wives (Australia). We will also be able to discover works from Latin America, USA, China and various parts of Europe and discuss with their authors. The EIVVV also opens beyond video dance by programming documentaries on dance and introducing a pedagogical aspect around the creation and exploration of dance in different contexts.
