Making Movies
Sweded Samourai Reloaded
This workshop proposes to expand the process used in the making of
SWEDED SAMOURAI - the western, presented at Schwelle 7 in october 2009.
It is not a question of filming, but rather of becoming a film, transforming the virtual into the physical.
Each day will begin with a short warm-up interlacing the vertical preparation of Ba Gua Zhang, the use of voice and somatic approaches to movement, and group improvisations.
Then, taking inspiration from classic movie scenes by the directors Takeshi Kitano, Patrice Leconte, Kenji Misumi, et Sam Peckinpah, we will transform the film elements into movement resources, constructing and deconstructing the scenes and characters daily, re-inventing a non verbal and definitely non-linear plot.

Martha Moore
Formed in California and New England, Martha Moore danced and created work
in New York from 1976 to 1982, before moving permanently to Paris in 1983.
She was artist in residency at Die Werkstatt in Dusseldorf in 1984 and formed her
company Toss in 1985. She has performed for several artists on stage and in film,
notably Mark Tompkins, Lila Greene, Stephanie Aubin, Charles Cré-Ange, and
Jacques Patarozzi.
In 1993 she created with Patricia Lopez the film Killing was Easy (Réalis. Sylvia Callé)
selected for the "Festival des Assassins" at the Cinémathèque de Paris.
In 1995, she co-founded the collective company Les Penelopes and collaborated with the Quatuor Albrecht Knust for the re-creation of « Continuous Project Altered Daily » by Yvonne Rainer and Steve Paxton’s « Satisf’n Lover », and later with Dominique Brun, Valeska Gert’s « La Mort » and « La Sorciere » of Mary Wigman.
From 1992 to 2000, she was regularly invited for teaching residencies at the European Center for New Dance Development in Arnhem, as well as a commissioned work for the twin school in Dusseldorf. At the same time, she began creating a series of duets and performance installations in collaboration with various dance artists : Anne Koren, Sally Silvers , Isabelle Marteau, Christine Corday…
and continues this process now with the New York choreographer Ara Fitzgerald and the Paris based Sophie Lessard, with whom she created « Updated Country », a series of improvised films and performances on country music .
She has contributed work to the feminist performance collective, femmeuses (directed by Cecile Proust), performed in « Fuck Yeah ! » for the Nature Theater of Oklahoma in May 2009, and currently collaborates with the sculptor Félix Perrotin in the ongoing performance series, « john & jane installations », and for her latest work « that was easy ».
She has taught professional classes and workshops for several national choreographic centers and companies in Europe, as well as for the Centre National de la Danse, and the Ménagerie de Verre in Paris.
