Residency| Place/Make | Melody Nolan & Omer van Soldt

1 April 2024 – 14 April 2024

Place/Make is a circus performance and film installation centered on the question: how do we find space for ourselves?

The house is seen as a microcosm of the city and the city as a collection of the small and larger actions of its inhabitants. 

Building a home of bricks through handstands and acrobatics, the performer works to discover: How does the human negotiate its habitat?

Our physical research centers on the question: How can the body communicate the agility necessary to adapt (to) one’s surroundings? By working with the interaction between the body and the basic building material of bricks, we look for opportunities to apply the body’s capacities to problematize the relationship between human and surroundings.

Melody Nolan is a circus maker hailing from California. As a keen explorer of her physicality and surroundings, Melody draws inspiration from a physical approach to artistic research, balancing technique with creativity. Her work melds handstands with acrobatic movement as she seeks to nourish a rich dialogue between body, space, and expression.

Omer van Soldt has his artistic base in writing. Over the years, he has ventured onto different disciplines such as film, theatre and contemporary performance. He studied acting for six years before continuing his education at the joint interfaculty of ArtScience at the Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.

A wonderful playground where I can (re)discover my movability. Not doing, just being. Being danced. No work, just play! Freedom. ❤️
Ellen

I totally support what you’ve moved within me, because that is the gift I gave myself.
Roger

What Jerôme’s class brings me is a place of transformation and recycling of my emotions, through the body. I’m more self-aware in relationship as a result. It also strengthens my faith in human connection, because of the fun and kindness that develops.
Tamara
future teacher

In this space I can safely practice how to bring the relationship between my body and my mind into one of More equal and Playful cooperation, rather than one of discipline and domination. I become aware – can notice how – my Body/mind are always in dialogue, never static, and I am encouraged to move in the flow – yin/yang – without judgement or resistance. At least, that’s the goal 😉🙏💛
Michelle

Getting over mental boundaries about being close to others

Interacting with others on a different level also helps me deal with daily social interaction
Chronic pain management, making it easier for my body to return to a natural flow state
And feeling more at ease in my own body
Julia

Magical, just magical. The space: created by beautiful souls and their energies 💫The body is indeed sore today! 😆 and the emotional body allows some soreness too, some sadness to sit along with the amazement of receiving love 💛🚿💦
Michelle

Yes. And yesterday’s ending ceremony was the cherry on top. How important it is to be invited and to invite ourselves to connect and treat each other with kindness, love and care. We all know that as human beings and the mamals we are that this helps us thrive. 🙏 to the soul (I don’t know her name) who thought of inviting us to do this process.
Kim

I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed and appreciated the class – the community the safe space the JOY in the body! 💫 you have (co) created something special 💛
Michelle

So what really helps me as a musician is first the connection with my body, which i believe is integral in a performance, being musical or not, beyond that you also explore communication with your colleagues in a different way, as the same you would do in a improvisation in music, you would explore the movements and geometry of your own body in relation to another, counterpoint… so for me is also an ludic way of doing the same i would do in musical dialogue, but without all the self judgments and technical struggles with instruments

Last but not least, connecting your breathing to your movement is an excellent way of connecting better my breathing in my playing, in my case since i play wind instruments is even more, but for a string player or whatever would still be important and healthy, usually we tend to create unnecessary tension and disconnection with our breath when playing

Workshop Flow in Time

14 & 15 October 2023 with Bettina Neuhaus

This workshop investigates the phenomenon of ‘flow’ in body and mind and how to use its qualities for dancing and composing.

Water, with its often flowing and continuous motion, is one of the basic prerequisites for all life. It acts as an essential component within our body and all its processes. At the same time, the qualities of water stimulate our senses and imagination and can support us in any creative activity.

By simple movement actions such as rolling, gliding, swaying or lingering we stimulate the flow of energy in the body and find suppleness and readiness in our movement.

With a fluid attention we can experience more easily the radial, expanding quality of time.

Entering ‘radial time’ allows us to participate fully in the material we create and to be receptive to the actions of our fellow dancers at the same time. By being ‘in’ time we navigate through the constant flow of movement and inspiration as we ‘read’ and create the compositions that emerge in the moment.

When: Sat 14 October: 10.00-16.00, Su 15 October: 13.00-19.00

Where: CLOUD / Danslab, De Constant Rebecqueplein 20-B, 2518 RA Den Haag

Costs: € 130,-

Teaching language: English

Last but not least, connecting your breathing to your movement is an excellent way of connecting better my breathing in my playing, in my case since i play wind instruments is even more, but for a string player or whatever would still be important and healthy, usually we tend to create unnecessary tension and disconnection with our breath when playing

Testimonials

My pleasure to share love with you beautiful people, thanks a lot Jérôme for the opportunity to get this so special safe space, it mean so much to me ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Sandra

A wonderful playground where I can (re)discover my movability. Not doing, just being. Being danced. No work, just play! Freedom. ❤️
Ellen

I totally support what you’ve moved within me, because that is the gift I gave myself.
Roger

What Jerôme’s class brings me is a place of transformation and recycling of my emotions, through the body. I’m more self-aware in relationship as a result. It also strengthens my faith in human connection, because of the fun and kindness that develops.
Tamara
future teacher

In this space I can safely practice how to bring the relationship between my body and my mind into one of More equal and Playful cooperation, rather than one of discipline and domination. I become aware – can notice how – my Body/mind are always in dialogue, never static, and I am encouraged to move in the flow – yin/yang – without judgement or resistance. At least, that’s the goal 😉🙏💛
Michelle

Getting over mental boundaries about being close to others

Interacting with others on a different level also helps me deal with daily social interaction
Chronic pain management, making it easier for my body to return to a natural flow state
And feeling more at ease in my own body
Julia

Magical, just magical. The space: created by beautiful souls and their energies 💫The body is indeed sore today! 😆 and the emotional body allows some soreness too, some sadness to sit along with the amazement of receiving love 💛🚿💦
Michelle

Yes. And yesterday’s ending ceremony was the cherry on top. How important it is to be invited and to invite ourselves to connect and treat each other with kindness, love and care. We all know that as human beings and the mamals we are that this helps us thrive. 🙏 to the soul (I don’t know her name) who thought of inviting us to do this process.
Kim

I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed and appreciated the class – the community the safe space the JOY in the body! 💫 you have (co) created something special 💛
Michelle

So what really helps me as a musician is first the connection with my body, which i believe is integral in a performance, being musical or not, beyond that you also explore communication with your colleagues in a different way, as the same you would do in a improvisation in music, you would explore the movements and geometry of your own body in relation to another, counterpoint… so for me is also an ludic way of doing the same i would do in musical dialogue, but without all the self judgments and technical struggles with instruments

Last but not least, connecting your breathing to your movement is an excellent way of connecting better my breathing in my playing, in my case since i play wind instruments is even more, but for a string player or whatever would still be important and healthy, usually we tend to create unnecessary tension and disconnection with our breath when playing
