We're all about building a strong and vibrant dance sector. And supporting up-and-coming artists as they develop their careers is just one way that Big Pulse is working towards this goal.

That's why we're thrilled to be welcoming the first groups of artists to Torinodanza Festival and CODA Oslo International Dance Festival in October as part of the Big Pulse Visiting Artist programme. With this programme, Big Pulse is giving young dance artists the chance to travel to an international festival, attend performances, meet the festival team, engage with and learn from each other, and network with other artists and presenters.

Stay tuned as we share more about the artists who are headed for Turin/Torino and Oslo next month. You'll also get to hear from them after their Visiting Artist trip to hear all about the experience.

Choreographer Amala Dianor, one of the artists selected for the Big Pulse Scaling Up programme, is premiering his new work "Siguifin“ today and tomorrow at Palais de la Porte / Atelier de Paris CDCN.

Toi toi toi to Amala and the full team! 🎉🎉🎉

How good does it feel to see live performances coming back to our theatres, venues and streets? And we are particularly excited about a performance happening today as it's the premiere (in situ) of Siguifin, a work by Amala Dianor, one of the artists selected for the Big Pulse Scaling Up programme.

For this work, Amala has brought together three young choreographers (Alioune Diagne in Senegal, Noami Fall in Mali and Ladji Koné in Burkina Faso) and nine exceptional performers from the West African contemporary dance scene to create something magical (as the title suggests in the Bambara language).

Following the performances this week (Thurs 16 & Fri 17) at Palais de la Porte / Atelier de Paris CDCN, Siguifin will continue its tour in 2022, including its first presentation as part of the Big Pulse Dance Alliance taking place in Helsinki at the Side Step Festival by Zodiak – Uuden tanssin keskus / Center for New Dance (12 – 20 Feb 2022).

Toi toi toi to Amala and the full team!
🎉🎉🎉

Along with Oona Doherty, Silvia Gribaudi and Marco da Silva Ferreira, Amala Dianor has been selected for the Big Pulse Scaling Up Programme which focuses on supporting artists transition from producing work for small and medium-sized stages to large-scale productions through a series of co-productions.

This poetic, powerful and collaborative work has been developed by four female artists from different countries and with different backgrounds – Catarina Saraiva (Portugal), Clarice Lima (Brazil), Nina Fajdiga (Slovenia) and Aline Bonamin (Brazil). Their practices move between performance, choreography, dramaturgy and curatorship, with strong creative forces and desires.

#TanzImAugustRecommendation: Until 29.08. you can see Constanza Macras-Dorky Park's site-specific parcours THE POSE that guides you through different spaces of the unique former factory halls of Siemensstadt.
THE POSE deals with memory, the photographic image and self-representation, posing questions about identity and its representation, the relationship between the digital and the analogue and the mnemonic character of photography. How are analogue memories and digital exercises intertwined? In which way are choreographic composition and photographic image similar forms of representation?

24.-29.08. | THE POSE | Weiße Halle

#3 Happy to Listen 2021 | The Jaguar Talks: Über Tanz als Form der Darbringung

The conversation of our third Happy to Listen episode stems from the long-term art-based research project “Endangered Human Movements”, initiated by Mexican-Chilean-Austrian artist and cultural worker Amanda Piña. Her project works to decolonise contemporary art and cultural practices by introducing critical perspectives from the fields of sociology, anthropology, history, philosophy, visual arts, dance, choreography and contempo-traditional indigenous Amerindian knowledge.

ARCHIPELAGO – A Spectacle of Blending

The Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto develops fascinating buildings that deal with the future possibilities of living and dwelling.
With his sculpture acting as a stage, a landscape, a shelter and a musical instrument, dancers and musicians elicit and develop its sounds in ARCHIPELAGO – A Spectacle of Blending.

The piece by Stephanie Thiersch and Brigitta Muntendorf dissolves the boundaries between dance, music and architecture and has glance into the future, in which a neohumanoid species is in search of new forms of collective coexistence.

Sie tanzen frei wie Körperpflanzen

Choreografin Stephanie Thiersch und Komponistin Brigitta Muntendorf lösen in "ARCHIPEL – Ein Spektakel der Vermischungen" die Grenzen zwischen Tanz, Musik und Architektur auf. Eine vom japanischen Architekten Sou Fujimoto geschaffene Skulptur ist nicht nur Bühne, Landschaft und Schutzraum, sie ist auch Musikinstrument, dessen Klänge Tänzer:innen und Musiker:innen gemeinsam hervorbringen und weiterentwickeln.

Das Porträt im Tagesspiegel beleuchtet den Entstehungsprozess des Stücks und gibt Einblicke in die Realisierung in der ehemaligen Turbinenhalle MaHalla.

20.–22.8. | 20:30 | MaHalla

Beim „Archipel“ auf dem „Tanz im August“ trifft die berühmte Architektur von Sou Fujimoto auf Tanz und Musik. Ein Porträt.
