 The Contemporary Dance Festival Tsekh will take place on December 6-14, 2014. As always Tsekh will acquaint the audience with names and greatest achievements of European contemporary dance. The programme of this year's event will include a selection of the most interesting contemporary performances from Switzerland and Russia. Incidentally Tsekh-2014 was organized by the International Centre of Dance and Performance Tsekh and Meyerhold Center as the part of the cultural exchange program between Russia and Switzerland which was initiated by the Swiss Arts Council "Pro Helvetia". Nicole Seiler Contemporary Dance Company will present a choreographic performance titled "Un Acte Sérieux". This interactive performance reveals the infinite strata that make up the language of dance. While dancer Mike Winter executes certain movements on stage, a spectator will attempt to describe the gestures of Krassen Krastev, another dancer actually positioned in a studio some kilometers away. Filmed by a web-cam, transmitted by Skype and projected on a large screen, the latter tries to reconstitute as faithfully as possible the other's movements in a intriguing confrontation both virtual and in real-time. Choreographer Nicole Seiler studied dance and theater at the Scuola Teatro Dimitri in Verscio (CH), at the Vlaamse Dansacademie in Brugges (BE) and at Rudra Bejart in Lausanne (CH). As a performer she collaborated on many different productions, with such companies as Cie Buissonniere, the Teatro Malandro, Alias Compagnie, the Cie Philippe Saire and Massimo Furlan. She created her own company in Lausanne in 2002. Within the artistic approach of Nicole Seiler image and video play a major role. Her research into multi-media which marries dance and video, gives rise to multifaceted dance performances, videos and choreographic installations. The last few years she has created a cycle of performances centered around the relation between image and sound. Since 2004 the company has toured internationally. In 2009 Nicole Seiler received the cultural prize for dance from the Fondation Vaudoise pour la Culture. More info
