Inter Inter Inter
A true interdisciplinary evening with music, dance, film and book making. Rational Rec is proud to have presented work from most artistic mediums in its first two seasons, although the absence of dance is a notable exception. This evening rectified this omission with two new works created by German dancer Sheila Ankari in collaboration with composers David Helbich and Matthew Shlomowitz. The audience participated in the documentation of the event with the real-time creation of a silkscreen printed book.
- New music / dance works by Craenen, Shlomowitz and Helbich
- Hennigham Family Press documents the event in the form of a book.
Shila Anaraki has worked as a dancer with choreographers in Belgium, Germany and Holland with companies such as Wanda GolonkaSchauspielfrankfurt, Vivienne Newport Company and Les Ballets C de la B. In recent years, an important part of her work has been dedicated to working with composers (such as George Aperghis and Alvin Curran) as a collaborator, dancer and assistant.
Matthew Shlomowitz is an Australian composer, based in London. His work has been performed by asamisimasa, Champ d’Action, Niuew Ensemble and IXION.
David Helbich studied composition with Mathias Spahlinger. Based in Brussels, his work has been performed at festivals such as Something raw (Amsterdam), Welcome back mister Paik! (Antwerp), Wien Modern and Argos Festival (Brussels).
The Hennigham Family Press, run by David and Ping Hennigham, publishes short experimental books. Using silk printing screens prepared beforehand, the audience will be invited to contribute to activities that relate to the works being performed during the event.
Tomma Wessel is a German recorder player living in Belgium. She performs with Ex Tempore, Musica Antiqua Köln, Champ d’Action, Collegium Instrumentale Brugensis, Il Novecento, Het Spectra Ensemble, Het Vlaams Symfonieorkest en Das Urensemble and is a member of the recorder group Aspara.
Paul Craenen (1972) is active as a composer and researcher of intermedial art forms. Due to the experimental character of his work, he prefers intensive cooperation with small ensembles or individual performers. His lasting interest in the status of bodies in contemporary music performance led to a post-graduate research at the Orpheus Institute from 2001 to 2004.
