RICEAN SCHOOL OF DANCE (RSOD) 18-29 Αυγούστου 2016RICEAN SCHOOL OF DANCE 19-28 AUGUST; 2016; HYDRA, GREECE
'The body is that (...) by which we learn to register and become sensitive to what the world is made of' BRUNO LATOUR
After its inauguration in 2015 The Ricean School of Dance will return to the island of Hydra. It is open to dedicated individuals of all ages committed to dance, performance and embodied practices for personal, professional or social development. The constituting principle of the school is self-actuated, in-depth research in a setting of aesthetic abundance. By establishing a milieu that facilitates formal and non-formal exchanges the school offers its students the opportunity to develop critical and artistic practice within a social context. RSOD engages no teachers or mentors but invites exchange that comes from the sharing of knowledge. It is hosted by a small organizing team, who themselves will be students of the school. A curriculum of neither led nor taught artistic research formats will be in place open to development. For the ten-day period the school seeks to provide a conducive setting for individual and collective practice-based discourse.
RSOD, is a place where 'the one who speaks (or moves) teaches.' Bare and sufficient conditions are provided for inspired individuals to learn for themselves through each other. Participants are trusted to contribute in meaningful ways to the determination of the school's actions; to be interested in fundamental concerns; to allow for mistakes to happen; to initiate projects with no conclusion; and to fearlessly offer their intelligence. Situated and engaged in the interconnected spheres of Hydra's social and natural environment, RSOD aims to form "a pattern of conversation and actions"; a mechanism for the cultivation of ethics; a choreography of humans.
The School's direct resources are sparse. The island of Hydra however offers plenty to nourish the artist's needs, inviting students to aesthetically adapt their practice to what is already present. Hydra is charged with a wealth of aesthetic possibilities, which RSOD seeks to engage.

APPLICATION DEADLINE 15.05.2016
'There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" MARIO SAVIO
