JULYEN HAMILTON TWO-WEEK IMPROVISATION WORKSHOP

Julyen is delivering an intense two-week workshop, from 29th March to 9th April 2021 in Barcelona.
It’s a 50-hour intense workshop, from Monday to Friday, 5 hours per day from 10h to 15h.

SPACE and the BASE
(read in any order)
given space – we imagine.
given base – we can make movements in space.
space is the material in which we dance.
it is into space that we sense ourselves moving,
and being.

space is what invites us to move, to be here and then elsewhere.

base is the place where we connect to ground,
base is the place where we are now.

In the workshop we will study and gain abilities in both these areas, essential to our dancing and dance-making.

Since the 80’s he has performed constantly in close collaboration with many of the highest quality musicians from all over Europe. It is with some of these musicians that he gives readings of his poetry.

He is at present performing the solos ‘INTERVIEW’and ‘HELD DEAR’ and performing with bass player Barre Phillips amongst many others.

REVIEWS

“ JULYEN HAMILTON ‘s movement is as soft and easy as silk lying on your skin.. Yet his turns of speed can leaves you gasping, wondering what you missed while you blinked.
Suddenly a foot hooks behind a knee and he is on the floor.
In another context it would be considered a partial fall, but the elegance with which it occurs takes us by surprise and forestalls the traditional guffaw in response.
The gestures, words and chants that seem somehow familiar yet also so strange were a feature of the evening, often subverting any interpretation we might impose upon his actions.

Hamilton’s work reflects the rejection of theatricality, overt expressionism, and explicit meaning adopted by choreographers from both sides of the Atlantic in the ‘70s.
Hamilton’s movement articulation seemed to eminate from the very centre of his body and traverse pathways out through the limbs with such a clarity we could sense them.

As I got up to leave I was extremely conscious of my own movement and remembered the privilege of dancing.’

“………..total -Kontrast mit Hamilton. Leergeraumt die Reisenhalle.
Aber Hamilton, der ewege Gauker, fullt sie – spielend. Leichfusstig pirscht der durchs Halbdunkel. Heult seine Indianerklage. Tanzelt zwischen langen Scheinwerfer-Strahlen (Svante Grigarn-light). Beschwort und verbannt Erinnerung. Stammelt keine Ratsel-Botscaften, die wir zu entschlusseln suchen – wahrend sie ihn schon wieder zu neuern Luftfecten, Schattenboxen und Mondseiltanzen anggetrieben haben.

Bewegung funkt und flammt aus ihm heraus, standig, doch immer uberascend. Ungebardig und doch kontrolliert, in der kleinen wie in der grossen Form. Form, die keine Konstruch is, sondern Notwendigheit, auch ein Stuck geliebtes Leben – und deshalb interessiert.”
