DanzLenz, the video dance festival

As part of the World Dance Day celebrations, Kri Foundation and Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council present DanzLenz, a video dance festival. [ dated April 2008]

DanzLenz, the video dance festival, is a pioneering international effort of the Kri Foundation. Video dance has certain distinct characteristics, which define it, and make it different from the regular understanding of both film and dance. It takes its strength from both, but is an expression of a new genre of art. Video dance is not tied to music, rhythms and juxtaposes the rhythms of the film process, with the rhythms of dance movement projected and located in decontextualised settings.

As part of the three day World Dance Day celebrations, Kri Foundation in collaboration with Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council will present a two day Festival of video dance
