Metropolis -inspired Zaha Hadid structure


Frederic Flamand is the Creative Director of the Ballet National De Marseille, the highly-respected contemporary dance company known for intrigating various artistic disiplins into the performances. His bio states;

"his prime concern is to question the status of the contemporary body – the dancer’s preferred tool – in the relationship it has with its environment"
and
"Frédéric Flamand’s career has been characterised by three main elements : encounter, dialogue and a certain utopia tinged with realism."
A few years ago I randomly met at dinner an architect who was working with dance choreographer Akram Khan on his dummy props for his 'Zero Degrees' performance, his interest was in creating props and spatial design for performance but from an architectural persepective. Anyway I wrote his email amongst an abyss of scribbles and lost it forever... but in terms of a creative pathway I though that was truly inspirational.
Frederic Flamand has in the past commisioned architects to create structures for his productions in this way. For his 'Metropolis 2' performance Zaha Hadid created a moveable metal design, and for " Silent Collisions' Thom Mayne produces a mobile structure of which I much prefer the model than the realisation.Image and video hosting by TinyPic
