MAMUSKA LEEDS - Programme 09.03.07

2007-03-15T16:49:00.001Z

Building on the success of the first Mamuska Leeds held in December 2006, Yorkshire Dance held a second evening this month.
Audiences were encouraged to socialise and be inspired by the rich programme of creative activity on offer. They were free to move about, chat and visit the bar throughout the evening.

The programme for this event:

Another Dance Company - Epithet

Immersed in the fictional world of a book. Based on Achmat Dangor's novel 'Bitter Fruit'

The Demon Barbers

English folk powerhouse. The Demon Barbers take an original and imaginative approach to traditional music.

Mik Artistik's Ego Trip

Surreal punk, funk, Catholic, electric comedy.

Ameilius Sense

A collaboration between Community Dance York, choreographer Rita Marcalo (Instant Dissidence), filmmaker Lucy Barker and digital company Bright White.

Menele Project - Test Match

Jumping off your box, challenging the boundaries, and matching the unmatchable - interrupted by a Batsman, who ends it all with one swing of his bat.

Los Galiticos

Hip-op, Breakin, Salsa combo

3 Bass

Drums, Bass and Sax

Natasha Light - Passage Among Shadow

The paper sculpture hung suspened at the window. Cured paper strips are layered and sewn creating an arching wing-like structure. The repeated lines express movement within the piece, while the extending form represents a physiological need for space. Natasha Light is a visula artist based at Patrick Studios.

Jen the Wren - Magic Hands

A tantalising, energising, sensational performance of magic hands. Your hands can feel magic too. This piece involved audience participation.

TOKYO BOUND
The Mamuska Nights network goes east

From John's Square to Tokyo!
Originally created by Davide Terlingo for Daghdha Dance Company in 2004, Mamuska Limerick has seen a good few years of truly inspiring programming, presenting to an ever enthusiastic audience a stunning 160 shows with the participation of over 100 individual artists. For the one of us who have seen this innovative platform growing from the friendly days at the Boat Club to the mature days at the Daghdha Space, it is a delight to know that the success of Mamuska Limerick is leading to the development of an international Mamuska Nights network. Mamuska Nights in each city share a common ethos and vision, however these special evenings also maintain a fluidity to respond to local and national context. To this purpose, each city has a different curator with the role of creating a point of reference for the local artists and audience, selecting the works that compile each city programme.
Under Terlingo's directorship, the network started to develop in association with the Yorkshire Dance Centre in Leeds, UK in December 2006 following a visit from their artistic director Bush Hartshorn to Mamuska Limerick. Following its success and in collaboration with Dance and Media Japan director Naoto Iina, the platform will voyage to Asia to premiere Mamuska Tokyo on the 7th of March, 2007. And this is not all! This year will also see the birth of Mamuska Dublin and Mamuska Galway, consolidating Mamuska Nights aims to build a strong national and international network for cultural and artistic exchange.
Keep an eye on Mamuska as its surprises aren't finished yet.

MAMUSKA TOKYO - Coming up!

These are structured social contexts that challenge established notions of performance and theatrical space. Originally conceived in 2004 by Italian artist and curator Davide TERLINGO for Daghdha Dance Company in Ireland.

Curators in each city have the role of creating a local point of reference and selecting the programme. Mamuska Tokyo is curated by IINA Naoto, director of Dance and Media Japan

MAMUSKA LIMERICK - Article

International aspect to Mamuska's reach

Daghdha Dance Company's Mamuska, the open platform intended to challenge notions of performance and theatrical space, is now international. The objective is to share a common ethos and promoting collaborations and artistic exchange across the sea and indeed, ocean.
With Davide Terlingo of Daghdha at the helm, Mamuska is connecting with artists and organic performance work in Britain and Japan. The first British Mamuska took place in December in the Yorkshire Dance Centre; a Mamuska Tokyo is being organised in collaboration with Dance and Media Japan for March next.
Limerick has already witnessed 4 enjoyable, surprising, creative and sometimes stunning years of local and international artists availing of this public platform.
"Mamuska is an unique occasion to present and view evolving works, raw ideas, minimalist perfections, unrehearsed visions," Terlingo explains. "It's about trial and errors, short masterpieces, playful nonsense, conceptual research, first steps... all in the context of an informal choreographed with the freedom to chat and move around at any time".

See for yourself what the fuss is about at this wildly successful event that spans genres, age groups and the imagination. Doors open for Limerick's first Mamuska in 2007 this Friday 2, John's Square at 8pm. Entrance is free of charge and there's a small bar.
Anyone interested in performing at future Mamuska should first contact Davide Terlingo at John's Square or by email davide [at] daghdha.ie with their idea.

Originating with Daghdha Dance Company in 2004, Mamuska continues to inspire both artists and audience with its unique flavour and format built around informality and a true sense of artistic experimentation. Mamuska is an open and accessible platform conceived to challenge established notions of performance and theatrical space.

Mamuska is an unique occasion to present new and evolving works, raw ideas, minimalist perfections, unrehearsed visions, trials and errors, short masterpieces, playful nonsense, conceptual research, first steps... and to dust off those dreams in the drawer.

Article: Daghdha Mamuska

2006-11-28T12:53:00.000Z

by Mark Keane

I have a confession to make: I don’t "get" contemporary dance. I know in my position it's folly to admit such a cultural faux-pas, but it would be disingenuous of me to blather along here and pretend otherwise. Every time I'm at it – admittedly only a handful of performances - I just wish it was more like that dance David Brent did in "The Office"; which is not what I'm supposed to be thinking. Afterwards, I choose to nod sagaciously, say that it was great, everyone usually agrees, merely adding to my Emperor's New Clothes impression of the artform.

And I'm not unique. Contemporary dance is polarising; a multi-textural, cerebral style of performance that alienates people so much that they prefer to stay clear of it rather than even take a peek. In layman's terms; it's nonsense. Clearly that's unfair -- as a medium, it is just as valid as any reaction against the stylistic rigidity of its predecessors, just like new forms of music, visual art, etc. So what is one to do? Give up? Programming director, Davide Terlingo, instead wants people to just go with it.

"There is a perception of contemporary dance that it is very far out. A lot of people will go to see a film or a piece of theatre or a concert but it's harder for them to say 'let's go see a dance show'", he acknowledges. "This is something that we at Daghdha are re-addressing. We have a very humane approach to dance; it's about the people and a lot of projects are about social enquiry."

This is where the upcoming Mamuska Night comes in. With its informal mix of short performances, club style athmospherics and the odd glass of booze, the irregular night has been a hit since it inception over two and a half years ago. It's an accessible "in" for all us dance novices, but Davide insists that it's more than just reaching out to new blood and it's certainly not dumbing down.

"There are around 10 performances under 10 minutes duration, with a break between each. People can chat and wander around during the shows. The policy is to programme both professional artists and those who are less experienced. The real reason for it is to give local artist a real chance to experiment, away from the pressure of being on the stage. The environment is so informal that people can interact with the artists and it takes it out of the stuffy, black box, performance arena. It's really a place to rethink how they see the show and how artists present their work."

So that's what the audience can expect, but what about the wider significance of the night? As a bridge building exercise with those outside the contemporary dance community, does it yield some new fans? Davide peppers his answer with a few home truths.

"Dance is such a wonderful art form, but a lot of the people who come to Mamuska may not be intersted in seeing dance in another context. I understand this because sometimes I find it hard myself! But Mamuska is a way to redefine how people relate to contemporary art forms. It doesn't always have to be so detached from the people. It is possible to be creative and experimental, but at the same time be very open and accessible."

This particular Mamuska Night was revived as part of the Excursion Performance Festival which takes place in three venues across Limerick from November 30th to December 3rd. The festival mixes visual art, dance, film and other disciplines in what is another reminder of the strength of Limerick's arts and cultural scenes with its healthy retinue of performers and patrons. Daghdha's relatively new and pristine space in John's Square is one of the venues, but Davide feels there could be a few more made available for the vibrant art scene, which is something of a regular gripe among Limerick's artisans.

"We could have a few more around the city", he sighs, "because there are a lots of artists, a real creative dynamic here and a real enthusiasm in the audience. We have had everything from EVA to the UL in the Daghdha Space. It's great to have these collaborations, but we also have to look after our own place with the education programm we have here. A couple more spaces would allow for the potentials in the city to be fully realised."

Beyond the Excursion weekend, Daghdha's own dance based Gravity and Grace Festival takes place from December 13th to 17th and will feature a performance choreographed by Daghdha director Michael Klien. A busy festive programme then, but the immediate focus is on Mamuska. Tell us again, Davide, why the Mamuska Night is a perfect introduction?

"Mamuska is the best place to start and to be inspired. It's free in and you can leave at any moment so what's the worst that can happen? But if you come to Mamuska, you will come back."

Sold.

One Of The Strongest Arts Group In The Country, Daghdha Build On That Reputation Through The Autumn.

Daghdha Dance Company, based at St. John's Square in the heart of Limerick, has assembled a programme of cultural events this autumn, which includes a broad range of activities to appeal to the wide local community.

According to Davide Terlingo who heads Daghdha's Cultural Programme, "our ambitions is to consolidate a number of diverse and innovative activities and formats, which in turn, we believe, will rise the awareness of both Daghdha and its innovative views on choreography. Activities include a series of events, discursive enquires, social interactions, performances, exhibitions and collaborative initiatives, set against the backdrop of a choreographed environment."

The programme kicks off on the first Friday in October, with the latest in the Mamuska series. Now at its third season, Mamuska has established itself as one of the leading performance platform in Ireland. During the last two years more then one hundred individual artists or organisations have inspired the audiences with a programme of over 140 works spread across different arts fields.

Mamuska remains a unique event, an open platform to experiment with new and evolving artistic work and an occasion for the audience to socialise and be inspired. Every night is different, with a programme full of surprises. However the format remains the same, an informal environment, and drinks at the table, great music during the breaks and the freedom to move around and chat at any time.

Article: Towards A Choreography Of Change

2006-04-08T17:00:00.000+01:00

by Thom Shaw

A microphone is strapped firmly to a woman's wrist using parcel tape and a wooden splint. The wire eventually finds its socket in a large amp, presided over by a musician with a look of the death metal about him. The equipment produces rock and roll style oscillations of reverb and feedback as the woman negotiates her limited performance space and the somewhat cumbersome appendage, whipping it about her like a playful rat would its tail.

In the churchyard outside, people are clustered about, drinking Guinness from plastic glasses in the balmy evening air as children weave snakelike path through them. A large black dog (Wilson, a Labrador I think, and, so I'm told, something of a local celebrity) trots amongst the sinking tombs whilst back inside the deconsecrated church punters either stand and watch or sit at small tables or on low, woven stools. This is a Mamuska night, a bi-monthly evening of performances, installations and shared works in progress, with a loose, UN stylised cabaret structure and an emphasis on ease for all involved. Mamuska may be just one string to the Daghdha bow but it's one which could be seen to represent much of the company's practical philosophy; it manages, in one fell swoop, to cherish and blur the performative, the social, the multi-disciplinary as well as the need for the public to get involved or not. It does all this with clarity and a level-headedness that is often lacking in events similar.

Daghdha is multi-headed to say the least, combining the educational, the professional and the social, and with projects and initiatives spreading out simultaneously in all directions. On first inspection it all seems rather confusing, but at the company's heart there is a clear sense of purpose and a sturdy conviction in the mission.

It is the deconsecrated church on John's Square in Limerick, which acts as Daghdha's central space and, therefore, a physical realisation of their social dynamic. Members are free to come and go, making use of technical equipment of the library, to negotiate use of rehearsal space or simply to make coffee. The public are encouraged in for performances and sharing and Mamuska night recognises the importance of engagement. Perhaps more importantly the company's activities allow for dis-engagement, they recognise that for the public to make connections and choreograph their own involvement, this is by no means a compulsory requirement or, indeed, a measure of successful outcomes.

Davide Terlingo: In a way it would be easier to define the company through our individual interests rather than through our initiatives. In broad terms, one of the key points is a shift from “dance” to “choreography”; another is a broadening of the definition of choreography to all systematic processes of arrangement and change. Brought together under this common framework, a number of Daghdha associated artists have a good degree of freedom to pursue and share different interests. Frankly the range is very broad, however, we are all united by share goals and a strong desire to directly engage with society.

My contribution comes in the form of a Cultural Programme with a broad independence from main dance production activities, which remain the core occupation of the company. Since full time opening of Daghdha Space in February 2006, I have been developing formats aimed at stimulating both company members and public participation. Daghdha is neither a rigidly structured institution nor a collective of independent artists. For instance, the cultural programme develops according to a long-term business plan that I follow decidedly, however there is a lot of fluid reshaping as facts evolve with time; it seems a contradiction but it works. As I mentioned before, all the activities are organically integrated within one common vision. There is equality in the relevance of our views…

TS: In terms of the malleable Daghdha space, and I'm thinking with reference to Mamuska in particular, how interested are you in non-theatrical theatre setting? Are you drawn to the idea of a grey area between the social space and the theatrical space?

DT: The theatrical space is a social space; I don't see a conceptual distinction between the two when discussed within a sociological context. Differences are based on definitions of use. The Daghdha Space has a set up that allows theatrical uses, however it remains above all a social space. In my daily programming of the space I always think in terms of social dynamics and interactions, I consider individual psychology and perception (who are the users?). My vision is constantly shaped around a specific aesthetic sense, a sense of fluidity and exchange. I organise the shape to reflect this vision, to create a landscape that opens new mental and physical opportunities. I see my work as facilitating an endless flow of events, from making a cup of coffee to presenting a major arts festival. I am not actively trying to blur boundaries; I focus on creating a choreography of relations that encircles both audience and artists. Mamuska Nights shouldn't really make sense and shouldn't really work and yet they do because they are a structured choreographic act. Here, I apply choreography to a social context, preparing the foundations and the grammar for a common form of expression. As you have seen, Mamuska is such an odd mix of people, ages, interests, social backgrounds, art forms and expertise. What gives consistency to the night is the overall invisible structure that repeats itself each time: nobody really knows what is going to happen at Mamuska (including me to a degree) and yet everybody comfortably knows what it is all about.

2006-01-02T13:00:00.001Z

Daghdha Dance Company is delighted to invite you to Mamuska Nights, a bi-monthly appointment of stimulating performances and exciting characters right in the heart of Limerick.

Mamuska is a unique night of creativity designed to offer individuals the opportunity to experiment, in the presence of a live audience, with new and evolving artistic works. It aims to create an open space for all people to present or view artistic work in a friendly and favourable environment.

All forms of talent are welcome. Mamuska is an informal event giving emphasis on "trying out" rather than "doing", yet aiming to present quality works capable of inspiring the audience – be it dance, video, poetry, installation, performance, etc. All works, excluding installations, should be under 10 minutes long.

To submit your work, please contact Davide Terlingo.

Dust off those dreams in the drawer.

Article: Mamuska in Daghdha Dance Company

2004-04-26T14:44:00.001+01:00

by Ella Daly

The last year has seen a lot of change in Limerick's Daghdha Dance Co. Since the arrival of Michael Klien, Artistic Director, last June the company has been given a new lease of life, taking on four full time dancers from all over the world: Davide Terlingo (Italy), Angi Smalis (Greece), Nicole Piesl (Frankfurt) and most recently appointed Mami Shimazaki (Japan). In addition to dancers, Daghdha has welcomed Tanya Lowe as dance teacher and Roisin Kinsella as General Manager.

All these new appointments have marked a new and exciting time for the company who, though still based in the University, are shortly to move into St John's Church in the city centre. The company launched their move last December with "Gravity and Grace" a weekend of music and dance in the church which featured Irish and international dancers and was an open house for all. For 24 hours tea and coffee was served to the public. The artistic programme included works by Ballett Frankfurt, as well as traditional Irish music and Sennachie Eddy Lennihan. Daghdha Dance Company plans to follow on this thread of open performances featuring all kind of work and so has given birth to "Mamuska Night".

Mamuska Night is an event dreamt up by Research Officer Davide Terlingo to showcase small pieces and works in progress by individual artists. The first ever Mamuska Night kicked off Saturday April 24th in the company's base in the University of Limerick. It featured dance, video and performance pieces from both Daghdha Dance Co., Amalgamotion Theatre Co. and music technology students Kunal Agarwal and Mark.

The first piece by Davide Terlingo and Mani Smalis was a tongue-in-cheek look at evolution featuring the naked torsos of Terlingo and Smalis. It got the evening off to a chuckling start, setting the stage for an evening that was not to be taken too seriously. Next came "Empty Shells", a more serious dance piece choreographed by Terlingo and Angi Smalis. Following was "Kloshken", a contemporary dance video made by UL MA In Music Technology students Kunal Agarwal and Mark. It featured the music of Mark and dancing by Barbra Piagal (MA in Contemporary Dance Performance) and Ann-Sophie Martin (MA in Ethno-Choreology).

Between performances the audience were invited to refreshments; soft drinks, tea, biscuits and assorted sweet things were free for all. A general air of relaxation prevailed with people sitting in clusters discussing the evening's performances. At precisely 8.40 we entered into "Theatre Der Welt" by Michael Klien, an improvised piece that gave audience members instructions: "stand in the square looking normal", "you are being observed by a woman who is wondering if she could find you attractive". "Theatre Der Welt" attempts to explain the rules of the world in a simple way and was certainly entertaining.

"Finding Sympathy" by Amalgamotion Theatre Company was a performance and video piece which contrasted the romance of love letters from 1908 with the coy bluntness of modern day text sex. Though they both deal with desire, how different and yet alike the approaches are! In front of a video featuring the letters and text messages Ciarda Tobin and Aidan Crowe dressed and undressing in Victorian and contemporary garb. We finished up with a video piece by Davide Terlingo and Angi Smalis and a solo performance by dancer Nicole Piesl, "Seemingly, Seemingly".

With no piece lasting more that 10 minutes, the night gave a snapshot of the arts scene in Limerick. The next Mamuska Night, due to take place June 26th, will move to a venue in the city itself. It is hoped that this will encourage greater involvement by students of the Art College while featuring further work by students from the University of Limerick. The arts scene in Ireland is increasingly represented by bi-monthly showcases: Enso in Galway, the Civic Arts Enquiry in Dublin, Electric Rain in Cork. Daghdha Dance Company are on the ball with Mamuska Nights, leading the way for the arts in Limerick.

ABOUT MAMUSKA NIGHTS (NETWORK)

2003-01-01T16:00:00.002Z

What is Mamuska Nights?

Mamuska Nights is an independent organisation dedicated to the creation of socially meaningful arts events and the development of collaborative networks. Its mission is rooted in a genuine sympathy for artists and audience alike, bringing the two in close proximity, eradicating clichéd representational rituals and redefining the social relevance of contemporary arts.

Mamuska Nights central activity is the development of Mamuska, a multi-disciplinary art event conceived as an open space for encounters and artistic expression - where to be inspired and socialise.

Mamuska provides a positive framework for creative events through a distinct format, each night presenting a programme of raw ideas, trials and errors, short masterpieces, unrehearsed visions, playful nonsense, conceptual research, first steps... all in the backdrop of a informal environment where people are encouraged to move around, chat and enjoy a drink at any time. However Mamuska remains a unique arts platform, it is not a cabaret night, a talent show or a speaker’s corner.

About Mamuska Network

Mamuska Nights actively seeks partners who share its central interest in supporting creative energies and redefining the context of socially meaningful arts events.

To each partner it offers assistance in the setting up, promotion and development of the platform in their own city. Simple guidelines guarantee that the Mamuska ethos and vision is kept unchanged, however these special evenings also maintain a fluidity to respond to local and national contexts. Towards this purpose, each city has a different curator with the role of creating a local point of reference and selecting the works that compile each city programme.

Mamuska Network aims to strengthen partners resources by promoting cultural and artistic exchange, facilitating collaborations and opening doors to international funding.
