ADN Cultural Exchanges & Performances

A series of joint collaborations / concepts by

composer Ben Schwendener, and

choreographer Angelo Dello Iacona.

The Premier of NO PLAN B

November 2014 - Green Street Studios, Cambridge, Massachusetts

“Gravity Arts presented an interactive performance by the dance company ADN Dialect, along with guest dancers from the Boston dance community and the MOBILE TRIO. Busy with the construction of a perfect tetrahedron, artists improvise and face constant changes of space. It is now time for music and dance to come together in collaborative fusion - No Plan B is a place with no preconceptions or comfort zones, where individuals, through their reactions, show their creativity . A piece that evokes the concept of the present moment and the permanent connection that human beings live with space and forces of the universe.”

The MOBILE TRIO: Ben Schwendener (keys), Kenwood Dennard (drums) and Marc Friedman (bass)
Choreographer: Angelo Dello Iacona
Lighting designer: Anne Dresbach
Live VJ and video works: Alvin Case
Sound: Clinton Vadnais

Gravity Arts & ADN Dialect An interactive performance with live music by The Mobile Trio Ben Schwendener (keys), Kenwood Dennard (drums) and Marc Friedman-Diemente (bass) The ADN Dialect dance company Choreographer: Angelo Dello Iacono   Dancers Joss Costalat, Carlos Martinez and Marie-Elodie Vattoux Dancers from the Boston dance community Anna Maynard, Michael Figueroa, Jenna Mitchell, Shari Repasz and guests Lighting designer: Anne Dresbach Live VJ and video works: Alvin Case Sound: Clinton Vadnais Cameras: Cherie Willoughby, Clinton Vadnais, Alvin Case In this movie the project 'No Plan B' reveals its stage of development after 12 days of work and cultural exchange between artists. The creators of this project concur to believe that the time seems ripe for music and dance, to provide spaces for spontaneous creation composed of group meetings and individual initiatives. Since its creation in 2001, ADN Dialect (DNA in English) is devoted to the creation of artistic events with multiple facets, with an aim of promoting ideals of peace and cultural exchange between different peoples, cultures and styles. Its objective is to explore new forms of expression through interaction between all artistic fields with dance. ADN (evoking the DNA of all life forms) stands for Alternative Dance Nation, while Dialect identifies the constant research for danced performances as an atypical language of exchange beyond words. The projects of the company have traveled the world, thanks to the confidence placed in Angelo’s visions, by the Swiss cultural authorities, the committee founder of the company, and his working partners.

The “Urban Shaman” project is the initiative of the company ADN Dialect, aimed to unifying various cultures around a single theme - “dance” as a universal language with an innovative project. The collective - whose style is defined by its emphasis on the interdisciplinary wishes to create a context where the cultural, social, political and ideological differences that divide people are, at least for the duration of the project, put aside, and instead draw attention to what human beings have in common. In other words, to nurture what has brought humanity together in a peaceful and universal way since the dawn of time: dance. Essential, human, risky and both collective but deeply intimate for every performer, this cultural exchange project was designed to fit every stage situation.The creation of the final performance, is aimed share the notion of TRANCE (common between cultures) through dance and music as a universal languages and vectors of reflection.
