Ivo Dimchev

What is your trademark as an artist? 
Overacting and unnecessary sincerity

What can the festival visitors expect from your piece?
A very big mess which they would not be afraid to get into and take out what they need. 

Where do you get inspiration?
Creating problems and finding solutions. I don?t know if that has something to do with inspiration.
But if I try to be more concrete I could say, that if I make a piece by myself I am more concerned with what I feel good to do, and if I do work with other people I am more concerned with what I feel good to see.

Which role do other arts play in your work?
I don?t find so many differences between the art forms, so I cannot give an adequate answer to this question.

What are your plans as an artist?
Until now all my work has been created, because someone has asked me to do it or I have been in a situation where I had to do something or there was nothing else I could be busy with. I hope it stays that way as long as possible.
No plans. But desires ? it´s very different.

Kurzbiografie
Ivo Dimchev ist dem Berliner Tanz-im-August-Publikum bereits aus dem letzten Jahr bekannt. Europaweite Anerkennung fand er durch seine ungewöhnlich radikale, tänzerische und choreografische Arbeit in der Theater- und Performancewelt. Sein neues Stück ?Som Faves? setzt diese Reihe fort: 100 sehr persönlichen Themen widmete Dimchev jeweils einminütige Songs und arbeitete sie zu ca. fünfminütigen Performances aus. Der Veranstalter wählt jeweils zehn Themen aus, die von Dimchev zur Aufführung gebracht werden. Jedes seiner Gastspiele wird so zu einem unvergleichlichen Artefakt.
Dimchev engagiert sich außerdem stark in der Nachwuchsförderung in zeitgenössischer Choreografie in Sofia. Seit 2007 lebt er in Amsterdam, wo er im Masterprogramm der Dasarts Academy studiert. (AG)
