The 15th anniversary edition of the International Contemporary Dance Festival ARC FOR DANCE FESTIVAL is kicked off on September 6 to \u201cfall into place\u201d in several different venues across Athens.<\/p>\n
The festival organizer, DAN.C.CE Unitiva, a member of the European network of contemporary dance Aerowaves, says about this year\u2019s theme: \u201cMany languages, the Greek one amongst them, connect \u2018falling\u2019 and \u2018place\u2019 in a weird move of grounding. #ARCFEST15 considers this while engaging with various critical shifts, geopolitical realignments, environmental changes, war disasters, and refugee flows.<\/p>\n
In this violent movement and \u2018falling\u2019 of bodies, the festival considers \u2018the terrifying concupiscence of belonging.\u2019 It proposes the various ways in which dance tells us what it means to take up a space and take a leave; to fall into where you belong at a given time and move on; to fall into place without being bound by it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Realizing its programmatic goal to help foster a rich ecosystem for dance in Greece, ARC15 presents works that cross boundaries between artistic expressions, creative languages and conditions of experiencing artworks. The\u00a0ARC_hitects\u00a0module of ARC15 inhabits the spaces of art institutions and museums, film and virtual reality, and suggests a displacement of dance that helps empower its presence and broaden its perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
