What
is a cuaderno?
Web cuadernos are on-line curations of multi-media materials
focused on particular topics and/or bodies of work relating
to performance and politics in the Americas. They contain
combinations of photos, videos, texts,hyperlinks, bibliographies,
and audio recordings, each piece gathered to explore a specific
topic. The collections are based on a loose scaffolding or
outline designed to make connections between disciplines,
to serve as a research resource for artists and scholars,
and to solicit exchange and additional materials. Each cuaderno
is a work in progress. We invite our on-line community to
add to our existing cuadernos by suggesting hyperlinks and/or
original materials. We also invite you to build your own web
cuaderno and submit it to our site, to be archived in our
collection, and highlighted in our newsletter.

Intangible Heritage:
Day of the Dead: by participants of the CRIM
Conference 2003
Day of the Dead
|
|
This
site is the result of the one-week conference
on Intagible Heritage at CRIM (Cuernavaca, México,
2003), where a group of students and faculty worked
as a team to explore the Day of the Dead tradition.
By looking at the Day of the Dead celebration
as a performance, the group examined the ways
in which cultural memory is transmitted through
social practices, customs, actions, and rituals.

| DanzAbierta: by Shanna
Lorenz |
Marianela
Boán and DanzAbierta: Cuban dancer, choreographer
and performer, Boán worked fifteen years
with for Contemporary Dance of Cuba where she created
a number of works that toured in more than forty
countries. In 1988, Boán founded DanzAbierta
where she began to mix different theater and dance
styles, while working through harsh contemporary
conflicts. She uses a language that breaks with
the limits of pure movement, reaching out to other
forms of artistic expression such as theater, visual
arts, music and song... always demanding from the
dancers the full development of all expressive channels.
She calls her style "polluted dance."

| Architecture
and Performance:Plaza Italia in Santiago of Chile
by Rodrigo Tisi |
Plaza
Baquedano, known as La Plaza Italia de Santiago,
is the belly button of the Chilean capital. Santiaguinos
talk about it as much as they can. This is the place
where La Alameda, Providencia and VicuÒa
Mackenna get together, as well as Bustamante Park,
Forestal Park, AmÈricas Park, RamÛn
Carnicer, PÌo Nono and Merced, San CristÛbal
hill and the Mapocho river. The site is a node,
a true center of encounters in the urban environment
of the city of Santiago.

| Los
Rumbos de la Rumba: World Map
by Berta Jottar |
This
cuaderno focuses on rumba as a cartography of the
Diaspora. Rumba is a transitory space, an international,
transnational and post-national site in the making
and unmaking of itself, in its performance. The
geography of this site is the rumbos de la rumba,
its different routes, directions, estadias in one
locale and another, simultaneously when rumba is
performed and fragmented by its relationship to
location; once rumba is within and outside the barrio,
solar, hood, ethnic group, place of origin and beyond.
Rumba is its migratory condition. This world map
is a world view that understand movement and sound
as its epistemology. This site is the compilation
of rumbas beyond place in the constant making and
unmaking of place, nation and narration.
