Together
Tenerife danza lab – laboratorio de danza del Auditorio de Tenerife – y el grupo invitado White Horse, presentan la creación colectiva de 2011:
En Together todos siguen la misma tarea, todo el tiempo. La obra investiga el impacto físico de las utopías colectivas, la necesidad de sentirse más cerca de los demás y la fuerza que se genera al juntarse. Propone una colectividad llena de contradicciones, emociones y deseos que surgen de la situación actual, del aquí y ahora. Los cuerpos en movimiento se convierten en sismógrafos de lo más intimo y lo más universal que puede unirnos con otros cuerpos.
El espectáculo contará con una exposición sobre el proceso creativo del proyecto, que se presentará en el Hall a partir de las 18.30h, y además un encuentro con los coreógrafos y bailarines, después de la función en la Sala de Cámra, en el que se desvelará el proceso creativo del proyecto.

GROUPIES
Filed under: Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
In November 2010 White Horse taught two workshops in Bogota and Montevideo. In the workshops Maria, Xavier and Chris explored physicalities of devotion and surrender with both semi-professional and professional dancers/choreographers. The workshops served as laboratory and research playground for White Horse’s new group performance about religion GROUPIES which will premiere at HAU theater in Berlin on October 7, 2011.
In Bogota the workshop took place at Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, where White Horse also got to perform Trip in the context of the 14th edition of the Festival Universitario de Danza Contemporánea. While in Colombia they also performed and gave a master class at the Encuentro de Danza CUERPO ABIERTO on the campus of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia in Tunja, gave a private performance at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and performed for the opening of the Festival Danza en la Ciudad at Teatro Libre in Candalaria.

Nederland schreeuwt om cultuur
Choreography ‘TRIP en masse’ in the streets of Amsterdam
On November 20 a collective cry for culture resonated throughout the Netherlands.
60 dance students of the Theaterschool (School for New Dance Development and Modern Theater Dance Department) as well as dancers of Dansgroep Amsterdam made this cry tangible for the public while performing an extract of Trip en masse in the streets of Amsterdam. A silent but potent scream on Netherland’s protest day “Nederland schreeuwt om cultuur” in reaction to severe cuts in cultural funding.

XSchulen
In June 2010 White Horse participated in X-Schulen, a project initiated by HAU theater in Berlin. 20 artists were invited to create a performative work on the premises of a Gesamtschule. White Horse took the chance of a lot of adrenaline and talent: 9 16-year-olds made love declarations to the audience: secretely in the toilet, screamed from the school yard, written in a diary, through a mobile phone and danced by a big group. From July 1 to 4 the peformances were shown in 3 different parcours at the Hector Peterson Schule.

love declarations being sent out
flyer by Theresia Knevel
Love declarations are being sent out these days to people who contributed a romantic voice half a year ago when we started collecting them at 100Grad festival in Berlin and at Something Raw in Amsterdam. Some love declarations have been made available to the archive of our Institute by each individual’s consent. From these public love declarations Coordt Linke, White Horse’s sound artist, has made a beautiful compilation. The sound compilation will be accessible to theatergoers in our romantic installation “Locus Amoenus” in the foyer of the theater before and after the performances of ROMANCE.
Don’t miss your chance to be touched by these uniquely personal and diverse voices. The sound compilation in the Locus Amoenus is conceived as foreplay and echo to our stage performance. Upcoming performance dates are:
September 25 try-out Frascati WG Amsterdam
September 26 premiere Frascati WG Amsterdam
September 29, 30 Frascati WG Amsterdam
October 1, 3 Frascati WG Amsterdam
November 14, 15 Dampfzentrale Bern

Locus Amönus – a romantic installation by White Horse
February 19 -22 100Grad Festival Berlin
February 25-28 Something Raw Festival Amsterdam
April 21-23 Springdance Utrecht
May 29-30 Dampfzentrale Bern
The ‘Institute for Matters of the Heart’ invites people to contribute romantic voices as an act of political resistance in the face of the imminent crisis.
The Institute for Matters of the Heart
White Horse founded the ‘Institute for Matters of the Heart’ in order to prepare for the imminent crisis. The Institute has followed the latest developments in the social-economic field and came up with the hypothesis that matters of the heart are in danger of extinction.
The International Board for Crisis Management warns against unprecedented stress and irrational behaviour caused by heightened competition in the job market and a general feeling of loss and helplessness. People are advised to focus on their strengths, work harder, pimp their profile and increase their marketability.
The ‘Institute for Matters of the Heart’ propose an alternative solution:
It is our mission to protect our most intimate and tender emotions from being overrun and undermined by rising standards in professionalism and efficiency. In the face of financial and social insecurities it is crucial that we focus on the matters closest to our heart! By bringing public attention to our cause we hope to remind people of the fragile beauty of their innermost feelings.
This is a call for celebrating intimacy and sentimentality! An encouragement to listen carefully to our hearts! Let’s unite and face the harsh demands of the crisis by indulging in emotional attachments, melancholic daydreaming and irrational desires!
The Pilot Project
For our pilot project we collect voices speaking from the heart. Volunteers are asked to make a declaration of love in all its possible meanings: a declaration of love to oneself, to another person, a thing, a place or an idea. We collect passionate, delicate, romantic, jubilant and nostalgic voices to set a landmark of resistance against the threats of the crisis by paying tribute to matters of the heart.
The Procedure
The voices are registered and archived in order to disseminate them in future times when the crisis will have reached its peak.
For the recording the volunteer will be alone in a small closet (the locus amönus). Half a year later each volunteer’s declaration of love will be sent to him/her via email. The volunteers can give permission for their recorded love declaration to be sent to another volunteer who participated in the action. In return they will receive an anonymous love declaration from yet another random volunteer. Email addresses will only be used for this purpose and will be handled with care and discretion.
Volunteers can give us permission to add their love declaration to our big archive for matters of the heart where it will be processed and made public. In so doing the volunteer makes a generous contribution towards saving matters of the heart from extinction.
Representatives of the Institute for Matters of the Heart will be sitting at a desk in front of the locus amönus to answer questions in regards to the Institute’s mission and to discuss the Institute’s hypothesis with anyone interested and curious.
