Black Market International
Renowned international performance collective Black Market International embark on an intensive week-long programme of Winter School courses, talks and an invited guest's performance programme as part of the New Territories Festival, all culminating in a 10-hour BMI encounter (BEGEGNUNG) in SWG3.
Black Market was founded 1985; they perform worldwide and this is their third and biggest project with New Territories. The Principle of the company's work is BEGEGNUNG, a German term they feel has a deeper sense of meaning to them than the English term "encounter". BEGEGNUNG happens between at least two people, it is an open system without necessarily building up to a group interaction, and without working out fixed actions, or fixed themes. The typical presence of a person in the space and her/his performative response, is the reason that often sets up the "meeting." During each performance on the day there are likely to be many meetings between the different individuals, passing moments, as one understands the others' way of action as a ritual initiation. They will create images, psychic pictures of action, that acknowledge an inner understanding between them.

Black Market International are part of major new Festival strand THIS IS PERFORMANCE ART (TIPA)
The programme for 2011 is the first in a three-year journey of discovery, unearthing a little of the history of performance art in different parts of the world.
Sometimes it is possible for a festival to offer more than an artist arriving in town to perform their latest show before leaving again. TIPA creates the possibility for artists to stay in town for longer and to take part in a greater contextual programme to enrich understanding of what they are about.
The Glasgow residency has been kindly supported by the Goethe Institute, Glasgow.

Rahaan is one of the world's most in demand DJs right now. Which makes it all the more exciting to have him as a resident in Glasgow. Anyone who heard him at last year's Million Dollar Disco party will know what to expect - twisted disco, heavily influenced by the original Chicago house music pioneers he grew up listening to, played with an infectious enthusiasm.
Al Kent doesn't have so far to travel. A Glasgow native with a proven track record in DJing and production with countless releases on labels like BBE, Stilove4music, Real Thing, Kat and All Out War and guest appearances all over Europe including high profile parties for Dimitri From Paris, Joey Negro and Southport Weekender. 2011 is looking good for Al with four albums scheduled for release, remixes for Katzuma in Italy and Clone in Amsterdam as well as plenty more edits for various labels including Kojak Giant Sounds and of course Million Dollar Disco.
