Remember the UpStage Festivals? 2021 an exploration of the haptic experience of internet connected proximal experiences
We warmly invite you to Bodies:On:Live - Magdalena:On:Line 2021,the first Online Magdalena Festival, from 24 - 27 June 2021 Bodies:On:Live calls us together to explore the online space, to keep our encounters alive and inclusive; and to ask, what is the way forward? How will our live, embodied artistic practice be transformed and continue to engage and inspire us in the online space? What happens to theatre when bodies are distant, when here is also there? Bodies:On:Live is affiliated with The Magdalena Project, a dynamic, intergenerational and cross-cultural network for women in contemporary theatre and performance. In 35+ years of activities, there have been over 100 Magdalena festivals and gatherings in more than 20 countries. As places are limited, we recommend that you book as soon as possible. The festival program is structured in blocks of several events. Booking for one event gives you access to all events in the same block. In order to be accessible across economic realities, the ticket prices are ‘pay-what-you-can’. Donations are welcome. You can find the media release below for easy reference. Please share this with your contacts and networks. We hope to see you at our festival, and that you will find it a rich and amazing experience. >>>>>MEDIA RELEASE<<<<<< Bodies:On:Live - Magdalena:On:Line 2021 The First Online Magdalena Festival 24-27 June 2021 Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next." Arundhati Roy (2020) Bodies:On:Live calls us together to explore the online space, to keep our encounters alive and inclusive; and to ask, what is the way forward? How will our live, embodied artistic practice be transformed and continue to engage and inspire us in the online space? What happens to theatre when bodies are distant, when here is also there? Elizabeth de Roza initiator of the festival, says: “The intention for the festival was sparked by a curiosity when the world was in lockdown and festivals and events had to be cancelled. I wondered, how can our work and the Magdalena network remain relevant, when until now the Magdalena festivals have happened in proximal space? What might an online Magdalena festival look like?” Bodies:On:Live is affiliated with The Magdalena Project, a dynamic, intergenerational and cross-cultural network for women in contemporary theatre and performance.
