The Chinese Room
collaboration with choreographer Kenneth Flak and light designer Thomas Dotzler

Kenneth Flak / produced by Korzo Theater, The Hague

Kenneth Flak
The Norwegian dancer and choreographer Kenneth Flak has for a number of years been active as a dancer and choreographer in the Netherlands and Norway. As a dancer, he appeared in various productions by André Gingras. In 2007 he was awarded the prestigious Bessie Award for his achievement in Gingras' solo CYP17. As a choreographer he created, amongst others, Unison, God Studies and Of Gods and Driftwood. The latter was included in the 2010 Blind Date tour.

The Chinese Room
His latest performance, The Chinese Room will premiere in the countdown dance weekend. The point of departure is the question of what is the next step in human evolution. Will the human race finally merge with machines and with each other, permanently linking us together in a universal organism? Together with dancer Külli Roosna, light designer Thomas Dotzler and multimedia artist Matsuo Kunihiko, Kenneth explores the new Humanity 2.0. Can we remain human in a networked reality where technology, biology, mind and power have all become one?

LUXEMBOURGEOIS - TROIS C-L
La Lune avait disparu des cieux depuis des mois...
Les marées étaient dès lors invisibles et inaudibles,
Les bateaux tournaient en rond, cherchant en vain leur rive.
Chiens et loups se retrouvaient sans repos, hurlant jour et nuit.
Où était donc passée la Lune ? Dérobée, enlevée ?

« Projet O » est un conte moderne, une ravissante performance faite de jeux et de surprises, une chasse au trésor menée par trois danseurs et deux musiciens...
Retrouveront-ils la Lune ? ...et elle, sa place dans le firmament ?

In ihrer vollendeten Form haben die geometrischen Grundfiguren Kreis und Kugel seit jeher große Faszination ausgelöst und die menschliche Vorstellung inspiriert.
Drei Tänzer und zwei Musiker sind auf der Suche nach dem Mond, der eines Tages urplötzlich verschwand.
Willkommen in einer von Farbe, Licht, Ton und Bewegung verzauberten runden Welt!

まばたき（blink）の間に起るつかの間の出来事に過ぎないのであろうか。

<h />our<br />link (hour blink) is the first media art work of Hideaki Takahashi , who, as electronica artist mjuc among other projects has released two albums and has composed for film, TV and performance events.
With the expansion of the Internet and its connectivity to related technology, media and information networks have spread rapidly across the globe. We are constantly exposed to streams of information everyday. However, what do we actually know? In a world where incidents are treated with similar analytical processes and absorbed by newly-released information, how can we regard each of the incidents as something that can happen to you? Where is the space for the imagination?

In this event, we provide a flood of information through 10 speakers placed between the seats, 16 super tweeters hang from the ceiling, 6 projection screens suspended at various angles, LED light displays and other audio-visual equipment are also included in the space. When we are forced to face in danger ? our brink ? what do we see? This is an experiment to question the brink of reality.
This DVD was re-edited by mixing live shooting visuals with original visuals ,including 5.1 surround mix track.

Kunihiko MATSUO will be joining the opening site specific performance of Attakkalari India Biennial 2009 to be held on the 6th February 2009.

Attakkalari India Biennial will open with On the Move - a dynamic site-specific promenade performance featuring dance, martial arts, acoustic and computer generated music, visual projections, large scale colorful carnival costumes and innovative lights. On the Move will challenge the idea of space and architecture by offering new perceptions of the site of performance linking it to the city- its locations, histories and lives of the people. Electrifying moves of dancers and martial artists from India, Spain, Africa and the UK are set to a captivating score by Lorenzo Brucci and a team of Indian and Portugese percussionists. Site design, visual projections and lights are by Japanese artists Kunihiko Matsuo, Naoki Hamanaka and Mitsuaki Matsumoto as well as Christian Ziegler (Germany) and Thomas Dotzler (Sweden). Spectacular costumes are designed by Ali Pretty and team from Kinetika (UK).

Capturing the spirit of migration, relocation and enduring flux, On the Move invokes images of disciplined martial practices and dance traditions; chaotic streets teeming with automobiles, people and activities; colorful markets, houses of worships, construction sites and call centers; processions, festivities and exercises in the park etc. Truly a collaborative effort of artists from different parts of the world, drawing from their individual journeys as well as the historical ones such as spice trades of yester years, On the Move portrays urban life, its little joys as well as trials and tribulations.

Physical performance:
Led by choreographers such as Jayachandran Palazhy, Moya Michael (Belgium), Jou (Japan), Anani (Africa) as well as Spanish & British choreographers of Brouhaha, Nakula Somana, Dil Sagar, Rakesh, Hema Bharathy and Denny Paul celebrated Kalari martial artists from India, contemporary dancers from the UK, Africa and India as well as Flamenco dancers from Spain create a rich and fresh movement language for the piece. Dynamic contemporary moves mix with distilled lines of Bharatanatyam and exuberance of Bollywood dance. Local folk artists (dancers)

Music:
Classical sounds of L Subramanium (in negotiation), Hariharan (Mizhavu) and a team of percussionists will be woven into a fabric of sound scapes created by Lorenzo Brucci, Kunihiko Matsuo and Mitsuaki Matsumoto by mapping the city sonically. Sounds of the city - builders, widening roads, markets, call centre taxis, motorcycles, autos, push carts, cafes, bars, Mobile phones, ring tones, FM radio etc. will feed into the sonic fabric of the piece.

Visual treatment and interactivity:
Cutting edge digital artist Kunihiko Matsuo and Christian Ziegler will work on the visual projections and interactive scenography of the piece challenging and shifting our perceptions. Architect Naoki Hamanaka and light designer Thomas Dotzler will enhance the visual feast with imaginative lighting.

Costumes:
Ali Pretty and her team from Kinetika will work with students of National Institute of Fashion Technology
