"From labanotation, to performance"


A programme of dance works performed
at the ICKL Conference

 

The evening included a number of solos
one of which was La Grande Valse by
François Malkovsky who formulated his concept of new dance in the early years of the 201h century. His artistic research was part of the Paris School and he developed what he preferred to call an 'art of living' rather than an 'art of movement' - he taught a physical mastery which was, in principle, natural and open to everyone yet remained 'artistic' .

The Grande Valse was created in the late thirties and in but a 1948 programme was subtitled with a verse from Rabindranath Tagore:

" Freed from the bonds of the sleeping earth

Joy makes her spring into infinity. "

 

- La Grande Valse Brilliant Op. 18

Lyrical, delicate and full of "joie de vivre".

Jean Jarrel

 

 

Suzanne Bodak previewed her new Malkovsky DVD project. These are Free Dances composed and
taught by Françoise Malkovsky between 1922 and 1936 and are of the Duncan period. They have
been handed down by his student Suzanne Bodak and recently published (2000) in a book
"Living Heritage" containing the notation by Karin Hermes-Sunke.

Noelle Simone gave two well presented "technical or theoretical sessions" on upper body
movement, and kept her good humor in spite of many questions. It occurred to me on observing
the trailer for Suzanne Bodak's DVD after 1 got home that there are some good examples of
upper body movement in those dances. For the first time on the DVD 1 was able to see clearly
how the head is not so much involved as with bends and contractions!!!
