45 minute long BBC Radio 3 interview with William Forsythe, with transcript. Very useful
(Also saved in my pdf files with highlights and notes)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/johntusainterview/forsythe_transcript.shtml

“…art forms are connected with different forms of time. At the moment I have the feeling that art is a manifestation of death, connected to a secret, when people are aware of the mechanisms of absence. Trance is related to that.  And dance is…”
(William Forsythe in an interview with Johananes Oldentahl in “Tanz Korper Politik”)

Presence and absence have always been connected to dance as an art form. The body as a medium between transcendence and materialization. In most cases dance is supposed to be a way of disappearing. Even in dance history, the hard core within that history, dance itself is absent.  A possible dance history has been substituted by another history; the history of the body.

At the beginning of the 21st century the body has found itself in the midst of pain, fear, chaos and war. Being endlessly attacked and constantly de-centered and above all trapped between fleeting physical-material acts within a confusion of bodies, concepts and strategies. We find ourselves encaged in all the diverse media´s imaginable and we stand inside all the possible spaces at once in all bodies we can think off. Within the works of contemporary choreographers like Forsythe, Charmatz, Le Roy and Stuart the absence of the body is as present as it is absent. 

Is there a connection to the revival of the hidden body in religion? To the renewed interest in shamanism and body rituals?  The discussions about the non-image in Judaism or Islam, the replaced body, the sacrificed bodies, ghosts and energies?  As a contribution in the discussion and research The School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in collaboration with the Lectoraat AHK presents between 21 May and 8 June 2007, a series of workshops and lectures called The Absent Body.

ghostcatching / Upon its premiere in 1999, Ghostcatching was described as having made complementary what had before been diametric: the combination of technology and humanity.: http://www.lcinstitute.org/about-lci/works-of-art/item/81-ghostcatching

Inside Movement Knowledge / Inside Movement Knowledge is a two-year collaborative, interdisciplinary research project into new methods for the documentation, transmission and preservation of contemporary choreographic and dance knowledge. The overall aim is to contribute to dance’s artistic and professional development and enhance the potential of its social benefits by making it more accessible for specialist and general audiences.: http://insidemovementknowledge.net/

Motionbank / In dem 2007 erschienenen Essay „Apropos Partituren” hat Rebecca Groves, ehemalige Geschäftsführerin der US-amerikanischen Forsythe Foundation, William Forsythes Ansatz „zur Schaffung einer neuen Art von ‚Tanzliteratur‘ für eine breite und interaktive Leserschaft“ vorgestellt. (1)
Mit Motion Bank wird dieser Ansatz verwirklicht. Die großzügige Unterstützung des Projekts ermöglicht es, digitale Online-Partituren in Zusammenarbeit mit Gastchoreographen zu erstellen und diese im Internet zu veröffentlichen (siehe Partituren) sowie sich an Ausbildung undForschung im Bereich der Entwicklung von Partituren zu beteiligen. http://motionbank.org/resources/

Openended Group / William Forsythe’s methods of choreography are strikingly algorithmic and give rise to a style of movement and interaction that is distinctively his own. This conversation between Forsythe and Kaiser was recorded in 1998 and later published in Performance Research, v4#2, Summer 1999. .......

video: Tatsumi Hijikata, Hosotan (1972) / Butoh

I have such an absolute 'hunger' for Butoh, remembering quite vividly the

first time that I saw a screening of Tatsumi Hijikata's work in the Tate Moder,

some years ago. But I am just not sure that there is space for his performances

in my dissertation? But I am repeatedly like a bungee drawn back to Butoh.

I need to find out and find words to understand 'why'.?
