RAVEL CHOREOGRAPHIC REVIEW
New online publication initiated by Amalia Kasakove
Ravel has sprung from a wish to gather within the field of dance and choreography around writing next to and with works, as ways of accompanying them and their makers. The project reflects on the fixity offered by the traditions of (e)valuation and review writing and considers it as a choreographic format in itself.
Ravel dives into thinking what the gesture of writing with dance might convey or make present, and how the act of writing can extend the thinking that the work is already doing. It traces, tails and inches closer to processes of languaging alongside dance in ways that might spill, churn, press, whirl, burrow, waft, spin, bind, rot, flee, welter, fowl, rivet, plait, fold and chew. The publication is an ode to the ways in which we are alongside and with artistic work.
The aim is that the curatorial process will take multitudes of shapes and ways, include others, mobilize questions, fluctuate and continuously position processes of co-thinking. This project hopes to continuously attach and collaborate with various venues, sites, festivals and events!
