WORKSHOP TRACING HOME

3 - 4 December 2022 w/ community members of Performing Gender, Madrid (Pasoa2)

The two-day workshop explores the idea of tracing home in our own bodies, neighbourhood and city. We will use texts, objects, borrowed movements and un-lived memories to dive deeper into understanding our sense of belonging and identity.

HERE, NOW - a five-day intensive work-lab for makers

28 November - 2 December 2022

Here, Now is a slow-simmer work-lab for choreographers and makers in which we collectively unpack ‘our urgency to create’ and analyse ‘the recurring patterns in our creation processes’. Over the course of the five days, we will use interdisciplinary approaches (through texts, objects, dialogue, tarot reading, etc.) to create short scores/performance works while reflecting on the macroscopic dramaturgical attributes of the works built together. Each session, grounded in the idea of ‘being here and with; right in the moment’, will start with a somatic prelude and end with self-reflection.

Book Launch of the publication ‘Dear You-Yours Lovingly, Me’ at Tanec Praha, Prague, Czech Republic.

Teaching a course on Dramaturgy & Artistic Research for Year 1, 2 and 3 at the Academy of Circus and Performance Arts, Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Tilburg.
With a practice-based approach, packed with group assignments, individual presentations, debates and dialogues, the course explores varied aspects of micro & macro dramaturgy, open & concept dramaturgy, artistic research and intersectional ways of looking at contemporary circus practice today. It further delves into how lived experience & upbringing, professional lineage, current socio-political climate within the world and the arts, inspire & influence dramaturgical choices of an artist in developing her own unique language.
