A dance writer Inta Balode and photographer Krista Brige from \u201cDance.lv Journal\u201d travelled to the ICE HOT Nordic Dance Platform that took place from December 12 till 15 in Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland. One of the topics of special focus for visual and textual reportages from the platform was ACCESSIBILITY. One of the meanings of \u201caccessibility\u201d as it is defined in dictionaries is “the quality of being easily understood or appreciated”. \u201cAccessibility\u201d was the intention and idea chosen quiet intuitively without knowing much about every single performance presented.<\/p>\n

In this text you will find Inta\u2019s writings and Krista\u2019s photos as they were taken and posted chronologically on Instagram account of the Latvian Dance Information Center.<\/p>\n

Arriving with a question about the extent of accessibility needed \/ demanded \/ provided in arts, and the opening performance “Sacrifice” by Icelandic Dance Company<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is a festival, a market! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accessibility must be the choice of urgent matter then! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Explanations and warnings, reminders and guides, teachings and therapies, popcorn and no gap of time unfilled. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A very nice example of how explanations, tips and added values are not the keys to the clarity but lead even deeper into the magic obscurity and tempting confusion arts can offer.<\/p>\n

In order to be ACCESSIBILE do you need to be something or to do something? Artists of the first More More More<\/a> day are into the doing. Doing the space so it becomes different being.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAccessibility of dark matters in the dark places is very equal for everybody. It evens out the sense-ability and other tools of access and as a result… … in the dark dark night there was a dark dark being and its dark dark inside was full of dark dark air that moved in a light light way and made my lip corners very light light and heart mood very light light.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NOTES ON FRAILTY Ingun Bjornsgaard prosjekt<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Like if my hands were stuck in some dark and heavy substance. Cannot take things, cannot throw, cannot do, stuck in waiting. Four sisters. No access to control room. Even if doors are ligthed by diamonds. Good the condition has some change moments. Though not more than a revolt in a glass of water. Charmingly and sadly true!<\/p>\n

THE WONDERFUL AND THE ORDINARY.\u00a0Gunilla Heilborn<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This is the last post about ICE HOT performances. It is the 5th day after the performance about the memory. I remember a narrow screen, a thin man in short and later in little longer shorts. Funny socks and shoes. Two similarly looking women in the same kind of jeans with long zipper in the front. They were around my age. One little older woman in skirt and cowboy style boots. A younger man in brown costume (probably also around my age but we tend to see men as younger). He was the first example of the wonderful I will remember forever. Today I still remember him. But not more than others. I also remember Arnold’s Schwarzenegger’s childhood house. Big white and small black dog. Arranging memory houses in intimate foggy atmosphere. A memory quiz about something. I remember laughing and warm feeling. And that since the beginning I was trying hard to remember what is happening, what are the things they bring back later. There were such things. I don’t remember what exactly but the dramaturgy was very well done. Mind dance where everything ordinarily becomes wonderful.<\/p>\n

Thank you ICE HOT! You were very ACCESSIBLE and too much with\u00a0“the quality of being easily understood or appreciated”.<\/p>\n
