| Abstract: | ‘displaced/displayed’ draws on the legacy of Viennese choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (Vienna 1890 – Sydney 1959) and her dancers within a context of global transmission of dance knowledge through crisis, diaspora and exile. Bodenwieser was forced into exile from Europe in 1938, via Colombia and New Zealand, to work for a period of 20 years in Australia where her work was seminal for the development of Modern Dance culture. The installation coincides with the 80th anniversary of Bodenwieser’s enforced exile from Europe and celebrates the possibility of a nearly lost avant-garde to remain. As an ecstatic-somatic project of choreographic re-vitalisation it builds on artistic research undertaken by Kampe and Brown between 2014 and 2017 (‘Releasing the Archive’, Auckland, Berlin, Hannover, Bath, Tel Aviv and Vienna) in collaboration with The New Zealand Dance Company and international dance-exile scholars and dance organisations. The installation draws on video footage of choreographic material developed through experimental studio processes and on the reactivation of archival material drawn from the work of ex-Bodenwieser dancers Shona Dunlop-McTavish, Hillary Napier and Hilde Holger. The installation plays with practices of displacement, doubling and fragmenting of recorded material to echo and honour the labour of lost modernist dancers and dances of exile. |
