  • Come Together January 17 — March 14, 2020
    A TH N 45 N I V Y E R S A R COME TOGETHER JANUARY 17 — MARCH 14, 2020 1 A Message from the Governor The people of Bermuda owe their heritage to many different countries and cultures around the world. From these, Bermuda has pulled the best of their traditions and created its own unique and diverse culture. In a similar way the Bermuda Festival each year brings together a diverse range of talented artists, both international and local, in the common cause of bringing much that is the best in the Arts to our island. The Festival, now in its 45th year, has become part of the canvas that is Bermuda - a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with rich diversity, proud to make the Arts accessible to all, young and old, traditional or avant-garde. This year’s programme touches on a myriad of creative disciplines including top quality drama, music, dance, theatrical illusion and athleticism. We, the audience, are spoiled for choice and I would encourage you to attend as many performances as possible. No Festival can be successful without the dedication of its administrators, production team and the many volunteers who help make the performers feel welcome during their brief but busy visits. They provide each artist with transportation, guidance and hospitality during their rare moments of leisure time. We salute all the people behind the scenes who make this celebration of the Arts something of which Bermuda can be proud. Most of all I salute you, the audience, without whose support there would be no Festival.

    Amy Seiwert’s Imagery Presents: SKETCH 3: Expectations world premiere ballets by Marc Brew Val Caniparoli Amy Seiwert July 25–28, 2013 ODC Theater 3153 17th Street San Francisco, CA 94110 All logo and bubble photography by David DeSilva in collaboration with Bubble Master Sterling Johnson Dear Patron: Thank you so much for choosing to come to Amy Seiwert’s Imagery’s SKETCH 3. By doing so, you have supported Live Arts which, in and of itself, is important. But more than that, you have chosen to participate in a unique program. Each year, Amy identi"es a theme and invites stunning choreographers that she thinks have a pertinent message to create dances for Bay Area audiences — dances and choreographers that we wouldn’t, otherwise, be exposed to. Last year, she brought in female choreographers to present their individual message, commenting on the lack of female choreographers in the ballet "eld. This year, she has chosen to focus on process, shifting the focus from who makes the ballets, to how ballets are being made, as a theme. To accomplish this she invited a marvelous local choreographer familiar to Bay Area audiences through San Francisco Ballet, Val Caniparoli, as well as a renowned Australian choreographer, Marc Brew. And, we can thrill to a new o#ering by Amy herself. Michael Smuin once introduced Amy’s choreography by saying: “Amy has more originality in 25 seconds of work than most choreographers have in their entire work.” The SKETCH series is becoming a staple of mid-summer dance in San Francisco... but it won’t be able to continue without your generous support.

  • Online Panel Discussion 2020 Post-Corona Creativity
    Online Panel Discussion 2020 Post-Corona Creativity Due to the Coronavirus crisis, Migros Culture Percentage Dance Festival Steps had to cancel the Steps Meeting Point, a day dedicated to the Swiss dance scene on 7 May 2020 in Fribourg. Instead, dance professionals from Switzerland and from a total of 22 countries followed the panel discussion «Post-Corona Creativity» live on the internet on 7 May. For three hours, expo- nents of the professional dance world outlined and discussed creative future strategies for the performing arts together with representatives from sociology and psychology. The full recording of the Panel discussion, including time stamps for the individual speakers, can be found at the following url: https://www.steps.ch/en/specials/Steps-Meeting-Point.html The Zoom webinar was hosted by Isabella Spirig (artistic director of the Migros Culture Per- centage Dance Festival Steps) and moderated by Monika Schärer (cultural journalist, filmma- ker, and professional presenter), while Gábor Varga (project manager of the Steps Meeting Point 2020) and a host of helpers ensured that everything was running smoothly, questions were collected and answered (Joëlle Jobin and Marine Besnard), and the event was documen- ted (Natania Prezant). What follows is a brief summary of the keynotes, accompanied by short biographies of the speakers. The ten-minute inputs range from an invitation to joyfully manage stress through embodied practice, via close observations of crucial paradigm shifts caused by the current pandemic, to interrogations of what the dance world can give back to their com- munities. Sometimes practical, sometimes abstract, sometimes emotional - they all attempt to respond to the fundamental question on our minds: ‘Where to from here?’ Online Panel Discussion 2020 / Post-Corona Creativity Isabella Spirig Welcome Speech “A very warm welcome to everyone.
