Movement & Motives @ the forest cafe

January 29th, 2007

Hi folks,

As some of you may know, and all of you will know after reading this, the Forest Cafe is holding its second “Movement and Motives” event.

Here’s the info that I’ve been passed along:

Introduction

Hi, this friday we have the 2nd Edition of Movement & Motives @ the forest www.theforest.org.uk , the first event was jammed packed, and a beautiful crowd it was at that :). So we are opening the 2nd floor, so you can actually see each other and interact , in addition creating a larger space for the expanded performances

This Friday we have brought some content in from London and Barcelona, animated movies about Capoeira, fear & movement by Lewis Campbell, as well as a projected exhibition produced by an international collective of female artists curated by the well known Catalonian design agency Xnografics www.xnografics.com

We did not get around to too much parkour at the last event, however due to a mysterious incidental meeting on Bristo Square, we managed to get hold of the old school of the Edinburgh parkour and free runners scene; Edinburgh’s Traceurs www.ed-pk.com/, who will be presenting screenings of some of their parkour shorts filmed in Edinburgh.

The dance segment is expanding, and you can expect to see performances involving 6-9 artists per group. Mao No Chao Capoeira which is a slower free flowing form differing from the faster paced style performed by Senzala in December., Monica Deioanni is back with a larger group for her Contact Dance Improvisation segment and expect to see another solo from Grecian Constantina performing Tribal Belly dancing.

Musically we are mixing it up a little with an electric Folk Barouque set from David Howells, supported by Gemma on the violin (the University Orchestra). Later on in the night we are going to turn up the BPMs with a dance inducing electronica set from DJ Melvetronica www.melvitronica.com a master of his art. During which Chris Thompson will be mixing it up visually using film, animation, and digitised/canvas art.

During the night you will also be able to view the archive of rare and informative documentaries on subjects as diverse as climate change, the G8, stop the war down in the basement, where the chaps from Infoseed will have a bank of machines running for the night.
