Performance Festival
Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most, this meeting invites to generate a consensus of ‘ways of doing and caring’ while promoting the democratisation of the creative process from collective sensibility and responsibility to individual needs and visions.
Investigating through a multidisciplinary artistic approach and embodiment, allows us to widen the possibilities of manifestation and creation; for this, we seek to cross the borders and the position of the participants beyond their visions and disciplines of origin; inviting them to generate an autonomous and versatile discourse.
What to expect
An intensive weekend festival: a performance laboratory that brings together the fields of movement research, contact improvisation, experimental choreography, acroyoga and Thai massage. This gathering aims to offer participants a global understanding of the creative processes around the performing arts while showing the capacity for hybridization and communication between disciplines, as generators of new dramaturgies and other ways of creating and relating. This intense two-day meeting, located in a privileged green area of Amsterdam, invites participants to generate an autonomous and versatile discourse. Through the didactic experiments, they will take them on a journey through different work methodologies and proposals that enhance the collective ability of space holding and intuitive narratives.
