iDANS 02: Dance On Time!

The May 2009 edition of iDANS Istanbul International Festival of Contemporary Dance and Performance organized by Bimeras will take place throughout the whole month at multiple venues in Istanbul. Conceived around the vertiginous concept of "Time," the festival will include some 40 works created by artists from 20 countries. This year we also host a parallel program for local artists entitled ''Local Time'' between May 22-24. The festival will include live and ''not-so-live'' performances, artists' talks, concerts, publications, and a conference on May 16&17 addressing thematic issues of concern. The festival seeks to combine deep thought and fun, reflection and distraction; to offer a multi-faceted platform for presenting, discussing, sharing and debating dance, culminating each day with our dinners at the festival meeting point!

WHILE WE WERE HOLDING IT TOGETHER


Ivana Müller is back in iDANS, this year again with a witty work that invites our imagination to dance! While We Were Holding It Together creates a flow of images in becoming, always changing, sometimes lingering. Is this a rock band on tour? A depiction of a picnic in a forest? A hotel room in Bangkok? Following a series of enigmatic tableaux vivants, we imagine and reinvent the relationalities of the bodies on stage, where stillness incessantly reveals multiple times and narratives.
