For the December session the students will continue an exercise that they commenced in the previous class, within which they were asked to translate a lecture by Euba, entitled “On Visions, Images and Non Images (Objective view / Subjective view / Objectified vision = Camera / Performer / Director / Audience)”, into different media. To do this the students used drawing to first make simultaneous translations, then later consecutive translations, of the text.
To further this, in this session the students will translate the still images they created into moving images and actions. To assist them, exercises of adaptation, extension, reduction and compensation will be undertaken to reflect on the idea of the frame; objective, subjective and objectified visions; and each ideas relation with action. These exercises will be introduced by viewing artworks by Euba and other artists.
On Praxis, An Unstated Theory (Writing Out Loud) is a yearlong course conceived by artist Jon Mikel Euba at the invitation of and curated by If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution. The course is coordinated and co-tutored by If I Can't Dance curator Susan Gibb.
Through collaborations with educational programmes, If I Can’t Dance aims to create conditions for a shared exchange of knowledge to take place. The workshops we curate provide theoretical reflection and discussion and practical knowledge on working in the field of performance. We follow students’ artistic practice and development, and the workshops feed back into our own programme of activities.
As part of Edition VI, our longstanding relation with the Dutch Art Institute/MFA ArtEZ in Arnhem continues to develop as we offer the following project in the academic year 2015–2016: ACTION UNITES, WORDS DIVIDE (On praxis an unstated theory) led by the artist Jon Mikel Euba.
Edition VI, also marks a new collaboration with the SNDO – School of New Dance Development in Amsterdam, where If I Can’t Dance will teach courses on Curating and Performance to the second, third and fourth years of its programme. These courses are led by Frédérique Bergholtz and Susan Gibb.
