Looping Spaces

Playing with awareness, movement and performance in public space.

We are staying in a public space for around two
hours and we explore by playing:

How do we sense space, and how do we move in it?

After warming up together, we explore the theatrical play of everyday life. Scenes unfold and you’re invited to join in: When are you a leader, follower or witness? We work with observation exercises and (dance) scorecards.

Enjoyment in the unexpected, playfulness and creating together are central.

We want everybody who wants to join, to be able to do so. Pay what you can.

0 - 30 € We love you to join
30 - 40 € You also support another participant

Nightfall

Playing with awareness, movement and performance during sunset

We are staying in a public space for around two hours and we explore by playing:

How do we sense space and how do we move in it? What influence does the change in light have on our body, the group and the space around us? Which spaces are created or disappear by the light?

After warming up together, we explore the theatrical play of everyday life. Scenes that unfold and which you can join: When are you a leader, follower or witness? We work with observation exercises, (dance) scorecards and lightobjects.

We take the time to observe our environment and investigate these questions performing, moving and playing with each other: What influence does the change in light have on our body, the group and the space around us? Which spaces are created or disappear by the light? How do we create a performance and in what way do passers-by get involved? We investigate the theatrical interplay of the everyday. Scenes that unfold and in which you can move along. We work with observation exercises, (dance) scorecards and objects.

Enjoyment in the unexpected, playfulness and creating together are central.

We want everybody who wants to join, to be able to do so. Pay what you can.

Woensdag 16 april 2025 van 19-21 uur gaan we weer naar buiten!

Nightfall

Spelen met waarneming, beweging en performance tijdens de zonsondergang

Workshop in de buitenlucht met Susan Bink en Susi Rosenfeld

We nemen de tijd voor de waarneming van onze omgeving en onderzoeken deze vragen performend, bewegend en spelend met elkaar:

Welke invloed heeft de verandering van het licht op ons lichaam, de groep en de ruimte om ons heen?
Welke ruimtes verschijnen of verdwijnen door het licht?
Hoe bewegen we, laten we een performance ontstaan en op welke manier raken voorbijgangers betrokken?

We onderzoeken het theatrale samenspel van het alledaagse. Scènes die zich ontvouwen en waar je in mee kan bewegen.

We werken o.a. met waarnemingsoefeningen, (dans) scorecards en objecten.

Plezier in het onverwachte, het spel en samen creëren staan centraal.

Locatie: Utrecht-West.

We willen dat iedereen die mee wil doen, dat ook kan doen. Betaal wat je kunt.

0 - 30 € We love you to join
30 - 40 € Je support ook een andere deelnemer

Playing with awareness, movement and performance in public space

We are staying in a public space for around two hours and we explore by playing:

How do you sense space and how do you move in it?

How can we create a performance and how can we involve passers-by?

After warming up together, we explore the theatrical play of everyday life. Scenes that unfold and which you can join: When are you a leader, follower or witness? We work with observation exercises, (dance) scorecards and from materials such as sticks and ice.

We play...

We play with a lot of different people. People with and without experience in performance, teachers, art students, physiotherapists, newcomers, and scientists. With groups where people already know each other, with groups where everyone joins individually and with people from different backgrounds and ages. We play in small groups (especially during Covid) and bigger groups.

We play in all kind of different places in our own neigbourhood: Places like a no-mans-land in between three roads, on a meadow near a cycle bridge and a primary school, an in-between-space near a big canal, a park, in front of a big appartment complex, etc.

Also, we play at different times of the day and every time we experience our surroundings anew.

We explore places in different cities: groups invite us to play with them in their neighborhood. For example under and on a bridge at the river Maas in Central Rotterdam, in a park in Leiden, etc.

We love to share our experiences in the group in different ways. One of them is with looking-back scorecards. After the workshop, everyone takes some time to write down a few moments that were interesting, uncomfortable, joyful, discovering, etc. We share some of the moments in the group and afterwards everyone receives pictures of the cards. Sometimes it's very surprising how different people experience a public place, situations and scores while playing together.

Upcoming

After playing with students from Studio Moio at the Kunstroute Leiden and elderly people in Munich, Germany this fall, we are looking forward to sharing our practice again with students from artEZ, University of the Arts, Arnhem. It is a 3 week project in june called Moving (hi)stories where dance, theater and fine art students work together in interdisciplinary collectives.
