Rebranding Acts: A Project with WOOLOO.org
Submitted by Terri on July 8, 2008 - 1:32pm.REBRANDING ACTS is an investigation into cultural identity in an age of global migration. The project asks artists to look closely at the ongoing production of "nationality" in their home countries and to examine the ways in which this public narrative includes certain individuals and groups - while excluding others.
The REBRANDING ACTS project encourage artists to perform and document “rebranding acts” that directly intervenes with the hegemony of this excluding narrative and presents a radical re-thinking of it. In other words, acts that aims to “rebrand” the national identity in question.
The specific context and method of the rebranding act can take any possible form but the act must be documented and submitted via WOOLOO.ORG in VIDEO FORMAT.
Blogging w/ Rhymes...
Submitted by YUNEUN on July 7, 2008 - 3:13am.I ponder bout life and bein somber wit no options
Of exonerating me, from this haunted state of livin in
The discipline of discontent, my vision starts but never ends
Freedom's not a regiment...I follow in life.
So my negligence to speak my voice leaves me deaf wit every noise
I'm reachin for the stars while the stars reach for other boys.
It's not my time, It's not my time,
Part 2 coming up...

The brilliant choreographer William Forsythe is an American choreographer who settled in Germany long ago and started his own company in Frankfurt. His brilliant work Decreation was exactly that - a melting piece of choreography as dancers distorted their bodies and voices and used an incredible sound design to highlight their rapid dialogues and descent.
