SYNOPSIS
¿M.R.U.M.? Can You Give Me a Movement/Gift? is an idea concieved a few years ago when we began to wonder what would happen if the movements in a choreography, instead of coming from the choreographer or the dancers, came from the inhabitants of a city. The creative process developed around these “movements gifts” which become the driving force in the performance creation.¿M.R.U.M.? Aims to be an interactive creation between people, a lived journey, a surprise,a game and a powerful stimulation for contemporary creation.


VIDEO INSTALLATION







¿M.R.U.M.? Can You Give Me a Movement/Gift?. A video installation which is based on the movements that were given as a present by Madrid citizens during the process of the project creation. The images of the "movements gifts" can change depending on the cityThe installation is projected on a stand made of cardboard boxes that differs in number and form depending on the size of the presentation. The entire composition of images is displayed only with one projector using VIDEOMAPPING tool.

LABORATORY OF CONTEMPORARY CREATION



The laboratory of creation ¿M.R.U.M.? (Can You Give Me a Movement/Gift?) offers the participants to approach to the choreographic creation from another point of view. It starts from going out to the street to carry out the question: “Can you give me a movement as a present?” and collect the movements given by citizens in a video format. This is the starting point of the creation process that is being realized onwards.

VIDEO LABORATORY CONTEMPORARY CREATION




Methodology and SCHEME OF WORK

The laboratory is divided into the following parts:
- The first part is about coming into contact, having a chat about the concept which will be developed the Laboratory ¿M.R.U.M.? (Can you give me a movement as a present?) and a brief presentation of the participants.
- In the second part the participants will be divided into work groups and an itinerary of the nearest areas of the place where the Laboratory will be realized will be designed. Every group will have a video camera in order to shoot the given movements.
- In the third part all the participants will gather in the dance hall to share the impressions of the movement collecting experience.
- In the fourth part a warm-up will be carried out to wake up the body and to enter to the physicality.
- In the fifth part of the laboratory the participants are invited to study the gifts (movements) of the citizens and later on every group will work on the material of the video recordings obtained in the morning and will elaborate a choreographic composition.
-In the sixth part every group will show the realized choreographic work and further on the conversation will be carried out with the aim to compare different ways of approaching the same concept.
