What is the exact origin of the contemporary dance?

It seems that American dancers as Loie Fuller, Isadora Ducan , Ruth St. Denis, Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey and the German Mary Wigman they was feeling too many restrictions on the ballet to expressed. Despite that originated by different artists but they say that it started in the first performances of Loie Fuller (in Paris) and Isadora Duncan (London). It’s very strange to see as Loie Fuller began to contemporary dance from work in the transformation of his body in a flower or a butterfly. While Isadora Duncan used ideals greek art achieve to more natural forms of dance. His strange death while she was driving and her scaf tangled up until to strangle it an her convincing life make she a mythical figure.

Love dancing...

From their first meeting 14 years ago Mats Ek and Ana Laguna we have walked together in it professional and staff. He is a Swedish choreographer of the most important creators of contemporary dance he did shows as Giselle, Swan Lake and Carmen. She is a Spanish excellent interpreter. It’s history began in the Compania Nacional de Danza (CND) in Spain. And since then they dance together on the way up here in the next opening. A show called Aluminum in which he tries to use the drama from de music and dancing.

Read one of the interviews with Mats Ek and Anna Laguna seemed it curious and tender while the answer that he said when a jurnalist asked how had been when they met.

¿Do you remember how it was when you met?

EK: It was an audition that Anna did at the Teatro de la Zarzuela to enter the Cullberg Ballet ... I fixed with Anna but she didn’t with me .. (laughs) .My development as a choreographer she is related to. She has been fundamental to have it near me.

Alvin Ailey Revelations

Two years ago I subscribe in an intensive contemporary dance and my teacher tried to teach us a piece of the performance of choreographer Alvin Ailey. Those times I didn't make the cause that really she was teaching. Recently a friend told me: "Do you remember those dance that taught us?" (she tried to do it). I don’t remember anything, and she passed me the following video:


I love it an when I see again the teacher I asked about the choreographer. He had been a dancer and choreographer estadonuden, had founded the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre and School of Dance American Dance Center. And as the video shows his work was inspired by the theme of black jazz. Unfortunately he died of AIDS (sida).

Casi-Casa

Mats Ek choreography

It is a new work by Mats Ek Cuba with Contemporary Dance company. It’s a coreography group with moments of trios, duets and solos. The Swedish choreographer Mats Ek is one of the most relevant cradors contemporary dance, combining his work as an independent choreographer with the stage direction and theatrical projects.

Here you can see a piece of the act:

This is the last piece of the show and when I came home I was only thinking about all the effort that had been artists and how fast I had spent that hour and a quarter.

La Ecuación

George Céspedes Choreography

"La Ecuación" is another part of the show that expresses the need to find anxiety of the people from his own birth. This part it’s to does by George Céspedes, nowadays the first dancer of the company Dances Contemporary of Cuba.

Demo-n/Crazy

Rafael Bonachela Choreography

Demo-n/Crazy is a show part of a Catalan choreographer who expresses a crazy democracy and the dancers are the sufficient crazys and delivered to do that one that they propose. This act has contemporary happy projections, of fear, aggressions and desires. Rafael Bonachela was born in Barcelona. He is one of the artists and more enigmatic choreographers and imaginative of the world of the british dance. Great part of this act I was with “the skin of hen”, for the expression and the feeling (accompanied of the music) and the energy that de dancers transmit.
Maybe this piece of video you know what I mean...

CONTEMPORARY DANCE OF CUBA

Two months ago I went to see a dance show in “Mercat de les flors”, there was treating about contemporary Cuban dance one of the universal campanys about the world dance. It can only been surprised on having seen the aptitude to interpret varieties of styles and the mixture between white and black dancers. The show has three acts of different choreographers that they reflect inconveniences, needs or goods of the people.
