先週末は駆け足でスペインはTerrasaへ。Barcelonaから一時間の小さな町だけれど、おしゃれなカフェやレストランがたくさんあるきれいなところだった。
それにしても忙しく、木曜日にリスボンから着いたその足でリハをこなし、金曜日にマーケットでの即興(!)と、土曜日に今夏PortoでつくったスペインのIsabelとのデュオ。翌日曜日にはリスボンへ。結局バルセロナを見に行く時間もエネルギーもつくれなかった。
収穫はスペイン料理に舌鼓をうったことと(先に来ていたイタリア人の友人が最高のレストランを見つけていた)、一応は四つ星のホテルに泊まったことか。
日曜日に帰ってすぐに近くのtascaにいってTosta MistaとChocolate com Leiteをたのむ。すさまじく狭くお世辞にもきれいといえない店内に地元のおじいちゃん、おばあちゃん、おじさん、おばさんが溢れかえってペチャクチャペチャクチャ、お店のおじさんは一人でかけまわっている。Terrasaのキレイなcafeとはまるで対照的で、でもこれぞポルトガル、なんだかホッとした。
学校では今週Vera Monteroの授業。彼女の作品は好きなんだけど、授業ではどうも「教えよう」という姿勢がありすぎるというか、もっと生身の、アーティストとしての彼女と向き合えないのが歯がゆい。

first week of the residence in o espaçao de tempo
O Espaçao de Tempoでのレジデンシー、今日で四日目。明日はMiguelのクラスはないので、ホッと一息といったところ。
こうしたグループでのレジデンスは、danceWEB、Pointe to Point、Sweet and Tenderと、まあ数は少ないものの、ある程度経験があるので、そんなにもう興奮もしない。加えてAnanilフェスのときここには既に泊まっていたので、余計新鮮味といったところはない。ただともかく、静かな環境でゆったりとMiguelのクラスに集中できるのがいい。

Julyen Hamilton's classes ended last week
Last week, finally we finished 2 weeks Julyen Hamilton's classes. It was quite nice opportunity to know the person in those generation, and way of very sensitive/open physical improvisation style. In addition, in the class, I got the way to focus my "center/joint" as the core of movements. I started to use off-balanced movements more comfortably.
Although, to be honest, these 2 weeks had been totally making me frustrated. Because, Julyen did not give us our space. He just pushed his idea always. It was very clear that, if we said opposite idea from him in the discussion, he must deny or ignore that. Of course I can understand that is because of his experience and this kind of attitude often appears when we get old. But anyway (even I understand logically) I could not feel well, and not easy to stand to stay in the class sometime...

Julyen Hamilton has been making dances, directing and teaching for the past 30 years.
He was born in England, then lived in Amsterdam and now is based in Girona, Spain.
In 1984 he was awarded the 'Zilveren Dansprijs' by the VSCD in Holland.
Trained in a period of experimentation in London in the mid-70s , he has constantly made work from a radical point of view.
His work, both in company and solo, develops dance for the theatre
where dancers and light designer are directed to compose pieces instantly,
a process of practising improvisation in rehearsal and in the moment of performance.
Hamilton creates his own personal language where movement and text constantly intertwine
and are passed amongst the performers as a way of manifesting the sharing of the imagination.
He is also invited to play with musicians, to choreograph for other dancers and to collaborate with other directors.
Since 1990 he has made more than 100 solos which have been seen all over the world. They are a highly original interplay between dance, live text and light. His latest solo Cell premiered in Barcelona on 2004.
His teaching work comes straight from the stage experience; it goes deeply into the compositional aspects of creativity through the areas of the physical body, space, time, dramaturgy and voice.
His label Blue Dog DVDs produces videos of his performances on dvd.
