International Alternative Dance Festival IndiePlat 09

A festival that works on the logic - or the ill-logic - of the Fringe. The meaning of the fringe festival developed as a reaction to the official international arts festivals that were dominated by big productions, mainstream artists and committees of judges. Artists’ companies begun to create their own spaces of and for expression through a free spirit of interaction rather than of competition, a collection of experimental and alternative work and the voice of attitudes that do not easily fit into the conservative and established.

IndiePlat '09, an alternative independent platform for the choreographical minds of artists from Cyprus, Greece, the United Kingdom, Spain and Finland.

With the absence of long-term, constant and continuous contact with the contemporary world of the experimental and/or alternative performative arts from abroad, we create a festival that will function as a practical guide for the evolution of an independent and self-empowered institution.

Participants:
EDge ’09 from The Place (London Contemporary Dance School)
Kicking Louise & co (Spain/Finland/England)
AnnaCharalambous.Solipsism (Cyprus)
Alexis Vassiliou (Nothing to Declare)(Cyprus)
Evi Demetriou (En Drasi) (Cyprus)
Detour Collective (Greece)

A series of free workshops open for the public will be delivered by EDge during the festival week.
