Performance: 3 June 2022, 2324JP Leiden, at The Dance Collector Studio.

We are presenting 2 solo works. One from Marjan Raar and one From Rens Borkent.

First Solo:
“Songs from Strangling Earth.”
This solowork is inspired by the music and sound from the band Bikkie Skeef. I live with it, work
with it, listen to it, love it and struggle with it.
The dark and mysterious sound was and still is a challenge for me to work with.
The many sound layers, the underlying meaning and the unpredictable changes are still
demanding my full concentration as a dancer and choreographer in this piece. I’ve been listening
uncountable times to the soundtrack on my headphones to learn and recognize places important
to remember. And I’m still working on it…

The second solo:
An entity with access to higher dimensions would perceive our reality similarly to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book. And just how we are able to, at whim, change the story simply by telling it differently, this higher being would be able to effortlessly make alterations to not just local reality, but reality as a whole, altering the baseline and changing its most fundamental aspects.

Kunstenaars opgelet,

Tussen 23 en 29 augustus organiseert ENS de eerste Dance Dare’s week.

Dance Dare's zijn één daagse samenkomsten van kunstenaars. Deze kunnen één hele dag aan een danspresentatie werken. Je kunt het vergelijken met een Game Jam of een andere creatieve samenkomst alleen is dit maal de focus een danspresentatie.

Tijdens een Dance Dare's ga je dus een korte dans presentatie neerzetten samen met andere kunstenaars die zich aangemeld hebben. Op de dag zelf krijg je een open onderwerp om je houvast te geven tijdens deze dag. Bijvoorbeeld een Dance Dare’s over "tegenmacht". Samen met de kunstenaars die zich hebben aangemeld ga je die dag aan de slag met dat onderwerp. De deelnemers worden op de dag ondersteund door een aantal professionals binnen uit verschillende kunstdisciplines. We zorgen ervoor dat jij het uiterste uit je inspiratie haalt maar laten je volledig vrij in je creatieve proces. Aan het eind van deze creatieve dag presenteer je het gemaakte werk in een kleinschalige voorstelling voor vrienden en familie met theaterlicht en alles wat je deze dag hebt opgebouwd.

Stichting ENS zet zich al 7 jaar in om dans en podiumkunsten mogelijk te maken voor iedereen. Van kleinschalige voorstellingen, samenwerkingen tot grote producties of samenwerkingen. ENS biedt al jaren mogelijkheden voor kleine gezelschappen om samen hand in hand op het podium te staan en wil met de Dance Dare’s de verbinding met andere kunstenaars en kunstvormen te vinden om nog meer mooie bewegingsvoorstellingen te realiseren.

Ook Sarmuse Producties haakt aan!

Grigori Sarolea coacht op woensdag 25 augustus, vrijdag 27 augustus en zaterdag 28 augustus muzikanten en zangers in verbinding met dans. Een unieke samenwerking met Rens Borkent van ENS.
