PoolPlayHumpDay

The weekend of the 15th and 16th September 2012 all PoolPlayers, that is to say participants and tutors, will go on an expedition to the Dreizinnenhütte.
We will start on Saturday in the morning from the Hotel Sole Paradiso with the local Bus, to reach the entrance of the Innerfeld-valley, where we will start our walk. After an hour we reach a small river and an elevated plain, where we will have a relaxing picknick.

In the afternoon we will continue to the Dreizinnenhütte, where our creativity can flow freely without any pressure for the PoolPlay presentation with music, dance, improvisation, (inter)action within the landscape. Our supper will be as well at the hut Dreizinnehütte where we can enjoy the mountains and the breathtaking night sky.

On Sunday we will walk back to Innichen and in the Pool again! :)

Interview with Douglas Bateman from MD kollektiv who will be the tutor for dance/theatre during the international and interdisciplinary summer academy PoolPlay bites, which will take place in Innichen, South Tyrole, from the 9th until the 23d of September 2012. All tutors for 2012 have given a little interview.

01 Where do you come from (not only geographically but professionally)?
I trained in London, started dancing professionally there in a Ballet company, then moved around Sweden, Austria and Germany dancing in “stadttheater” then moved to Holland to dance in Scapino Ballet Rotterdam, and then to Köln with Amanda Miller.
Since 2004 i’ve been choregraphing, and freelancing as a performer.
I work alot with Tony Rizzi in Frankfurt and create often with the Dansateliers in Rotterdam.
02 PoolPlay invites the 3 professions of dancers/actors, musicians and architects, since all are designing space and time. How can the 3 PoolPlayProfessions work together?
Simple, we’ll share.
03 What is the use of an empty space? What are ‘we’ supposed to do with it?
I don’t know. we are supposed to do anything, but let creativity flow.
04 What is your relation to swimming pools?
They are big holes with water in them.
05 Who would you like to welcome at PoolPlay? Who should become a PoolPlayer?
A PoolPlayer should be anyone who is interested in one of the core subjects and wanting to find reflection through involving themselves in something different.
