OLDER PERFORMANCES & OTHER WORK
MAGENTA
MAGENTA originates from the desire of tracking and materializing social connections and relationships.
7 performers move in an abstract space where the only possible purpose is to connect. Their skin, seen as the interface where exchanges happen, becomes a personal ID where traces of all the others can be found, rendering personal identity a mere point of connection on the net.

1 2 3
1 2 3 is a research project for a dance film in collaboration with Dutch director Michiel Vaanhold.
The project revolves around Bram and Ans Stelling, a mature couple of Ballroom dancers. Awarded several times as Dutch champions, they have a strong love and work relationship. They spent most of their lives dancing together and travelling around the world for the dance competitions. You can see Bram and Ans on their website: dancesupport.nl
1... 2,3. 1... 2,3 begins a new series of works and researches that focus on relationships.
The research for this film is supported within the frame of De Wolf Danst, a new dance film project of Mediafonds, NTR, Filmfonds and Cinedans.
DATA
DATA is a dance theatre solo that follows the format of a documentary. The man on stage is being investigated, as though he were subject in a zoo. The daily words and scientific terminology applied to the human body encounter the live dance performance unfolding a greater complexity. Words become fluid concepts that oscillate between understanding and re-defining the human experience. DATA invites the spectator to an active interaction that goes from reasoning to feeling to reasoning in a continuous loop: a dialogue with the human that goes beyond a sterile informed vision where labels become occupied, subverted, transformed or destroyed.
