"Magnolia and Strangers"
16 June 8:00 p.m. at stage Derida
Part of the program of 3rd edition of festival "Etud and friends" (16-27 June 2018)
" In a world torn strange with a speed of undigested events, there is made, a space for two to meet. And in this place their own selves spark and rest. And in this space their creative insights take form through word, sound, dance and the arrangement of time.
This is a theatre of simple needs - the need to say and the need to be heard - the need to move and the need to be move".
JULYEN HAMILTON is a dancer / choreographer / poet / teacher / musician. He has been making and performing dances for 40 years throughout the world. Born and brought up in England he trained in London in the 1970's, a time of radical experimentation, he has been an exponent of innovative performance since that time. His work is mostly improvised : he composes dance works instantly as well as the texts which often accompany them. His work with text is unique. It fuses naturally his long-term writing practice with his refined skills in dancing. When working with his company Allen's Line he directs dancers and lighting designers to make and perform work through this same immediacy.
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 'The Immaterial World', ‘LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT’ and ‘INTERVIEW’ ; performing with bass player Barre Phillips. With his company Allen's Line will be performing their latest piece ‘BURST’ in Rome this July. As a pianist he plays regularly with Hamilton Carroll in Berlin and Brussels. Their first cd ‘POINTER’ was released in 2016.
His label ‘BLUEDOG PUBLISHING.net’ produces videos of his performances on DVD. CDs and print. His new poetry album ‘Jack Gets Out of Prison’ with bassist Wilbert de Joode was released in 2018.
