INTERIOR DRAMA Lucinda Childs / Nicole Beutler (ArtEZ)

Something special happened this year at ARTEZ Dance academy. The students of the third year were taught two versions of one piece: Interior Drama by Lucinda Childs and Nicole's cover-version as it is part of 2: DIALOGUE WITH LUCINDA. Part of an evening of final presentations of the school, the combination of both pieces is touring through NL in june. So for those curious about the relation between original and cover, this is your chance to witness both 'live' next to each other.

Here the dates where both pieces are presented:
16 Juni LUX, Nijmegen
18 Juni Schouwburg Arnhem
23 Juni Korzo Den Haag
27 Juni Brakke Grond Amsterdam, ITS Festival

On July 1st we present only our version of Interior Drama in a double bill with Adam Peterson in the OPENLUCHTTHEATER in the VONDELPARK during Julidans.
The rest of the final performances also includes VARIATIONS ON A SQUARE with the second year students, a prelude to 6: THE SQUARE. 2, 3, 4 JUNI ARTEZ, Arnhem 19.30
Fascinated by the radical and deceptively simple minimalism of Lucinda Childs’ early work, Nicole Beutler chose to remake two of her silent dance pieces. While Childs describes her work as an ‘intense experience of intense looking and listening’, Beutler’s reinterpretations centre on the individual dancer’s efforts and responsibilities within the group patterns.

Ty Boomershine, assistant of Lucinda Childs taught the students of the 3rd year Dance Bachelor of ArtEZ Arnhem the original choreography Interior Drama (1977). Under the guidance of Hillary Blake Firestone they learned the second half of 2: DIALOGUE WITH LUCINDA, based on Interior Drama. Beutler’s reworking of Interior Drama is set to a specially composed work by DJ/producer Gary Shepherd (2010).
