Colina 2005

Em Dusseldörf, na Alemanha, está a decorrer desde o dia 07 de Agosto, a 3ª edição do Colina - Collaboration in Arts, um encontro artístico de experimentação e confronto, pensado por Rui Horta. Depois de duas edições em Montemor-o-Novo, a iniciativa reúne 26 criadores e intérpretes de vários países e de áreas como o teatro, dança, cinema, artes visuais e música, com o intuito de 'experiment with each other and to reflect their particular methods. Time, space and body, three basic parameters in contemporary art, offer a thematic reference system for COLINA Düsseldorf. Not so much to prove specific concepts, but to explore different artistic points of view.'. A participação portuguesa está a cargo do actor e encenador André e. Teodósio e do bailarino Romeu Runa. Diariamente são feitos os relatos das actividades e experiências, seja através de vídeos, fotografias ou resumos escritos. A acompanhar. Depois do fim da iniciativa, a 20 de Agosto, O Melhor Anjo conta apresentar um comentário dos dois portugueses ao encontro.

What does collaboration mean? The question was certainly (and hopefully) not raised for the last time. For some, collaborating means the chance to be able to generate something together under optimum conditions and especially includes the opportunity to benefit from the other person’s skills while at the same time enabling that person to use those skills in a new context. For others, collaboration means becoming infected by an idea instead of being confronted with a project, in which one can either choose to become involved or not. At least they want to know more about the subject, for which they can then feel fully responsible. The pragmatics, on the other hand, are ready to finally get to work without denying the process oriented nature of the work – in any case, they don’t feel constrained by pressure to make a product.
