NANA BILUŠ ABAFFY– GINCUBATOR 2022-2023
FR/EN
NANA BILUŠ ABAFFY is an artist with a background in philosophy and a foreground in experimental performance and choreography. Nana takes a maximalist approach to artistic endeavor and works through dance, text, play, moving image and social intervention. She is interested in the pursuit of knowledge through embodiment and wants to know what her body is looking for. Nana believes that there is irreducible variation in the human experience and works towards establishing a space for that difference in search of landscapes where alterities can be envisioned. She is the founding member of a secretive collective that performs in explicitly illicit spaces and enjoys engaging in ChoreoGraphic acts of extreme tree hugging and site specific protest dancing.
Nana has been mentored by choreographer Meg Stuart since 2018. She has been making fiercely independent work since 2013: in afterhours biomedical libraries, galleries, theatres, forests, heritage buildings, supermarkets, private apartments, fields, former women’s prisons, carparks, religious halls, dance institutions, soon to be demolished office buildings, and some more dance and art institutions (in that exact order). In 2022, Nana is due to present new choreographic work at Chunky Move. In 2021 Nana undertook an artist residency and creative development at Beursschouwburg. In 2020 [cancelled] Nana was due to present new video/live performance work with collaborator artist Parvin Saljoughi for the 2020 Tehran Contemporary Sculpture Biennial; and was commissioned by Chunky Move to present a new choreographic/expanding cinema work there, as part of the 2020 Next Wave Festival in Melbourne (postponed). She also undertook the Chunky Move Solitude residency; and contributed to ArtStations Foundation online works.
In 2019, Nana presented a live performance/video work curated by Flash Art Magazine, as part of the exhibition ‘Rooze Mabada’, at Giardino Segreto Palazzo Durini in Milan; presented choreographic work that was selected as part of the Live Works Performance Award at the 2019 Drodesera Festival; was an artist in residence at Centrale Fies Art Work Space in Italy; and at workspacebrussels where she showed work at the Kaaistudios. Nana was commissioned to present POST REALITY VISION [private parts one to three] at the biannual Dance Massive Festival / Dancehouse Melbourne; and was an Arts House CultureLAB artist in residence.
In 2018, Nana was a finalist in the Keir Choreographic Award, commissioned by the Keir Foundation, Carriageworks Sydney, and Dancehouse Melbourne, for her work POST REALITY VISION [part zero]; presented the experimental choreographic work INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE CREATIVELY MALADJUSTED episode 104 as part of the biannual Melbourne Festival of Live Art, supported by Phillip Adams BalletLab and Theatreworks; undertook an artist residency with and was commissioned by Santarcangelo Festival in Italy to present ISFTCM episode 105; was invited to undertake the res+ref artist residency as part of Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels; and was commissioned by Runway Experimental Art Magazine to make a video based art work for their dance edition.
In 2017, Nana undertook an artist residency with and was commissioned by the biannual Underbelly Arts Lab & Festival to present ISFTCM episode 103; and was commissioned by Lucy Guerin Inc to present RIP Meatdog…Meatdog Lives! as part of P4SS. In 2016, Nana was supported by the dance boards of the Australia Council for the Arts and the Ian Potter Cultural Trust to train with choreographers Ivo Dimchev, Trajal Harrell, Mårten Spångberg, playwright Mark Ravenhill, and video artist Tacita Dean; and was involved in the creation of an ABC documentary on the iconic underground urban explorer group The Cave Clan. In 2015, Nana was selected to participate in a director’s masterclass with Romeo Castellucci at the 2015 Venice Biennale of Theatre; and was involved in the creation and realisation of iliads, a durational dance performance piece led by artist Ben Speth. Nana’s work has received further support from the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria; City of Port Phillip Cultural Development Fund; FCAC Artist Residency; Bluestone Arts Space; the Croatian Institute of Movement and Dance and Zagreb Dance Centre.
Nana completed her Master of Fine Arts at the Institut Supérieur des Arts et Chorégraphies – Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles in 2021. She also holds a First Class Honours degree in Philosophy and has been awarded a Postgraduate Scholarship in Creative Writing. She received an Australian Postgraduate Award for her thesis dealing with the Aeschylean tragic cycle and satyr play in connection to artists Kazimir Malevich, Marcel Duchamp, VALIE EXPORT and Martha Graham. Nana has served on the editorial committee of peer reviewed arts journal Colloquy: text theory critique, as well as on the committee of the postgraduate Faculty of Arts Colloquium at Monash University. Nana is a published researcher and has been invited to present her work on ancient tragedy at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and at Oxford University. She is currently on the panel for the Australia Council for the Arts, as well as for the City of Melbourne Arts. Nana is a Zagreb born, Melbourne/Brussels based alien.

OFFSHOT- Joséphine Tilloy/Evila
En clôture de son passage dans le G.Incubator, la chorégraphe Joséphine Tilloy présentera une étape avancée de son solo chorégraphique EVILA.
Vendredi 06 mai à 19h
au Garage29.
Cette fiction chorégraphique est construite comme une histoire, une histoire mettant en scène un imaginaire collectif autour de la sexualisation des corps féminins hier et aujourd’hui. Sur scène, une performeuse, une comédienne, une danseuse toutes habitées par un rythme en trois temps donnant naissance à trois corps évoluant dans un même univers corail tournoyant, explorant par la fiction une matière-corps musicale autour du geste sexuel.
Dans une partition écrite, différentes formes de féminismes coexistent. La sensation de ce rythme ternaire – par opposition au binaire – vient faire jaillir ces stéréotypes sexués, érigés en mythes. Puis peu à peu, le trois temps vient briser ces clichés, complexifiant ces images et ainsi décaler l’imaginaire. Évila expose les clichés, les superpose progressivement jusqu’à saturation. Les corps devenus hybrides appellent à sortir des stéréotypes, et invitent le.a spectateur.trice à trouver sa propre façon de s’approprier et de déconstruire les représentations qu’iel connaît.

OFFSHOT – Léa Vinette/Planète A
En clôture de son passage dans le G.Incubator, la chorégraphe et danseuse Léa Vinette présentera une étape avancée de son solo chorégraphique PLANÈTE A.
Jeudi 12 mai à 16h et 19h30
Vendredi 13 mai à 16h
au C11/Galerie Horta.
« Une jeune femme vit seule dans un espace brillamment blanc et froid dans lequel l’obscurité n’existe pas. Un jour, la nuit tombe. Progressivement, l’obscurité apparait. Angoissée et intriguée par cet étrange phénomène qui absorbe lentement le monde qu’elle connaît ; elle se sent disparaitre, et se met à traverser des états physiques contradictoires, de la frénésie à la retenue. Plus l’obscurité vient, plus elle rentre en relation avec le monde qui l’entoure. Elle crie à l’aide et en même temps crie de plaisir, se sentant vivante et vibrante jusqu’aux profondeurs du cosmos. La femme partage avec le public l’énergie transcendante de la nuit dans une danse détaillée et puissante. Son corps est sensible, intuitif, multiple, décomplexé et contradictoire.»
Comment laisser apparaître une multitude d’états physiques et émotionnels dans un seul corps ? À partir de l’imaginaire de l’obscurité et par une rencontre entre science, danse et narration, Léa Vinette explore les états émotionnels et physiques que l’observation du ciel et du cosmos peut provoquer en nous. Elle propose avec Planète A un voyage sensoriel pour travailler notre imaginaire commun et nous interpeller sur la disparition de notre ciel étoilé.

WorkShot – Garage29 & Marcos Arriola
FR/EN
WorkShot around the project CRUCE by choreographer Marcos Arriola
Saturday 23.04 at 8pm at Halles de Schaerbeek
_______________________________
A WorkShot is a BlitzSnark – a choreographer, a dozen professional performers, a commando trek of his dramaturgical questionings and his scenic vocabulary. Fifteen days to map its edges, to make its borders waver, to meet an audience without a net. We don’t look for a product to present, we spend time together and, like the salt from the edge of an ocean suitably exposed to the sun, the fundamental crystal becomes visible. A lightning experiment, a dazzling creation process, a flash of public exposure: a challenge for all partners!
It is with stylish warriors that the choreographer Marcos Arriola celebrates, in his new creation CRUCE, the dancefloor as a meeting place and as a claim to our subjectivities. The dancing body is political, a strategic place to revolutionize the norms of sexuality, gender and race. Like the trophies of these micro-political struggles, the dancers gathered for two weeks will go through the gestures of an aesthetic of resistance. On the stage, each dancer throws his or her subjectivity, his or her lost and found body when, amidst the shouts of encouragement, the recalcitrant movement triggers the catharsis.
_______________________________
This WorkShot is the result of a workshop – création by Marcos Arriola around his project CRUCE : a two-weeks process in which the choreographer works with a group of participants around the scenic vocabulary of his project. The choreographer uses the group and the diversity of points of view on his or her proposal, which he or she will try to define in order to present the process to an audience on the last day.
