Presentation

"MOVE OUT LOUD" is a project that aims to promote global communication through dance and movement. One world choreography that crosses borders, languages, cultures, frontiers, religions and economical differences. It works using the Internet as a tool that allows the
sharing of information in a global and fast way.
The concept of this project is better understood if explained the way it works.
A choreographer or a dancer will upload to the site of the "MOVE OUT LOUD" project a 3 minutes video of a solo dance. Then another choreographer or a dancer already registered in the site will receive the link of the video of the previous artist and will have to record on video a choreography that starts with the last movement of the previous artists. Then this video is uploaded and sent to the next artist and the method is repeated.
This is a on going project that can live through time and since its viewing is available to anyone that can access to a computer it will promote contemporary dance and it is project from artists to the artists with no lucrative intentions. The idea is to share experiences, universes, imaginary, stories, feelings, desires or despairs and shout it to the world... to all... the big family.

ENCHAÎNEMENT

Is there anyone who has never received one of those chain messages – usually a prayer – which you are supposed to pass on to ten of your friends or else you will suffer the most horrid punishment? Nasty things! You have to decide either to ignore it and risk divine wrath – even when you do not believe such things, there is always a voice in the back of your mind nagging ‘what if it is true?” – or to forward it to ten of your friends and risk being ten times thought of as you think of the person who sent it to you : “friend indeed!”.
Brahim Sourny and Filipe Viegas’s "MOVE OUT LOUD" seems to me to be another type of chain, one that does not try to grab you through the promise of delights or the threat of catastrophe, but allows you to join in if you like, to be part of an endless flow of movement that you can mould briefly to your body, extend and pass on, as if you were in water gently splashing among friends, being pulled and pushed, pulling and pushing, or if you were an astronaut playing with your mates in the absence of gravity, taking and giving, joyfully letting your body receive the impulse of another, transforming it in something your own, passing it on…and on…and on…
