Three choreographers. Three dance pieces. Eleven days to create each one.
Made in 11 Days is a concept created by the AB Dance Company ensemble to play with choreography and the practice of contemporary dance. It was primarily conceived for experimenting with new ideas, as some sort of laboratory where everything is possible.
The theme of mini performances choreographed by AB Dance Company dancers Côme Calmelet-Pyykkö, Linda Holmström and Arttu Halmetoja is It’s All Relative. Three dance pieces will be created in 11 days, culminating into one compact night of performance, the core of which is founded on curiosity and fresh ideas.
This year, the pieces encompassing the whole Made in 11 Days concept will be created by following these five rules:
1. The choreographer will have 11 days to create the piece from concept to the final stage version, including visual design.
2. Each performance must have a running time of at least 11 minutes.
3. The lighting designer has a total of 11 days to work with all three pieces.
4. The sound engineer has a total of 11 days to work with all three pieces.
5. The Artistic Director has a total of 11 days to supervise the work of the choreographers and dancers and to offer them help and guidance as needed.
In addition, the choreographers will keep a blog on every working day using videos, photos and/or text. These blogs will be published on the AB Dance Company website so that the audience can follow and comment on the creative process of the artists.
