Twenty20 FRAMEWORKS dives into new dance territory opened up by interactive technology. This new Aerowaves and Springback Production initiative invites artists to search for ways to transform the digital medium into their dance partner, rather than as a way of showing their dance works or making dance for the camera. Their live and recorded projects –from 5 to 30 minutes long– will be showcased on the digital stage (streamed on Zoom, Aerowaves and commissioning Partners’ websites).

Octopus by Léa Tirabasso / 8 min
Octopus is the digital exploration of a section in the piece The Ephemeral life of an Octopus. Beyond the research of cellular dysfunction, the work questions behavioural, social and political dysfunction. It observes the invisible movements of living units, whose ability to move and reproduce, greatly impacts the whole they are a part of. It is the restoration of touch and the creation of a virtual cellular and social mass that is played with, in this context.

LIVE rOOms by Joy Alpuerto Ritter & Lukas Steltner / 35 min
New technologies are finding their way into our homes via laptops and mobile devices. Especially during the global pandemic and lock-down they become our tool for communication with the outer world. Conversely, via Zoom and Skype conferences or Instagram Stories we increasingly give access to people into the intimacy of our four walls. In this interactive performance film, Joy and Lukas share moments of isolation, doubts, boredom and joy that they experienced during lock-down. In this early approach they try to find a creative way to deal with this extraordinary situation.

Digging by Masako Matsushita / 22 min
Digging is the combination of two processes: the breaking or cutting of the surface and the removal and relocation of the matter found there. In this work the medium is the digital and the time frame is lock-down and post lockdown. Breaking the surface of the squared screen the digital digging starts. Pulsation and rhythm, layers and layers of information, the weight of the digital matter, chaos of patterns changing quickly without noticing, removing and relocating; where will this matter lead us? How many layers of life do we need to dig into? What is the (dis)agreement between technological devices and our bodies?

That time may cease and midnight never come by Chiara Taviani & Henrique Furtado Vieira / 26 min
“The house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.”– Gaston Bachelard
That time may cease and midnight never come is a digital study of the imagination through the home and its spaces – from the bathtub to the kitchen, the library to the basement – and taking a look into the hidden corners, like the wardrobe or the fireplace. This work is an attempt to talk about our contemporary condition under these new circumstances of covidien confinement; to remain subliminally connected to the spaces where we live; to preserve and foster a poetic look in the face of the apparent banality and predictability of the home receptacle. Filling images in the historical moment we are living, confronted with depopulated spaces, makes us wonder and dwell on Martin Heidegger’s question: “Why are there beings at all, instead of nothing?”

LIVE Somewhere Only We Know by Ekin Tunçeli / 30 min
This piece contains some nostalgia for the old dance –the flesh-and-bone version– and builds the structure through the irony of its impossibility.
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go?
So why don’t we go?

LIVE FILTER OUT by Máté Mészáros & Nóra Horváth / 12 min
Two real bodies meet in an endless virtual space. From outside these bodies might seem completely motionless but internally both bodies are charged with tension that lies under the surface. Using a smartphone we create a complex visual experience without any theatrical lights, or fancy costume. All we need is a neutral space where the bodies are present and one device to create a thousand different realities to tackle questions such as: what is real, unreal, is my truth your truth as well? What is reality through digital media?

Through the wire by Julien Carlier / 11 min
This videoconference-style experience follows the confined paths of guitarist Gaëlle Solal and dancer Julien Carlier as they attempt to connect with each other through a physical and virtual maze. In this piece, we wonder about remote contact. What does it imply not being able to touch each other anymore? Can we share the same present through interposed screens?

Performance: Julien Carlier (dance) and Gaëlle Solal (guitar)

Unleashing ghosts from Urban Darkness by Alessandro Carboni / 32 min
Unleashing ghosts from urban darkness combines the visual dimension and the performance practices in which the body is used as a cartographic tool. Starting with EM Tools (embodied map tools) a choreographic method was conceived by Alessandro Carboni and a group of 8 performers, situated in different locations in the world. They take part in a collective creation process that focuses on capturing and collecting forms, situations and urban events along an itinerary in order to create a corporal map.
