During her residency Ilse van Haastrecht​ looked at various layers of the human body. Such as the joint integrity, spinal mechanics, architecture of the foot, muscles as landing cushions.

Through the lens of the Axis Syllabus Lexicon Ilse tested tactics for healthy and safe locomotion and studied how it affects her dancing. In the Study Labs she shared her findings with a group of curious movers, in order to practice sharing these parameters for falling into grace with our dancing body.

During the presentation Ilse will elaborate on some of her findings and conclusions. She will also share about what the Axis Syllabus Lexicon is and there will be a mini workshop walking mechanics.

You are all very welcome to come and participate

This workshop introduces the participants (any dancers, movement artists, theatre artists and performers welcome) to the Rasa aesthetics of classical Indian dance. The Rasas or the “Nine Moods” of classical Indian dance come from the Natyashastra treatise (200 BCE-200 ADE). These moods will be explained and participants will be given insight into layers of meaning, and taught hand gestures, stylized movements and facial expressions which may be used as tools in exploring each of these nine moods. There will be opportunities for improvisation, and students will also be guided through short series of guided explorations of the rasas. Finally, the workshop will examine how rasas may be used in contemporary performance.

Participants from the workshop are invited to participate in the development and showcase performance of Paromita Kar’s piece “Vignettes of Sringaar” as a work-in-progress. The performance will take place on Sunday 21 June at 14.00

Then, Before, Now, Once more – choreography Antonin Comestaz
The universe seems to play by the rule of constant change. Nothing remains, everything transform. Life and death, days and nights, seasons… What is now isn’t what it was then, nor before, but may occur again. Nature lets us witness these patterns in everything, including feelings. How do we cope with this fact when we seek for eternity?

Dancers : Inés Belda Nacher & Jefta Tanate
Music : Aphex Twin, Robert Lippok, Nicolas Jaar
Duration: 10 minutes

Body-House – choreography Keren Rosenberg

“The body and me are not the same.
The body is the house in which I live in.
I don’t own this house and this house is not me, though its my house.
Sometimes I feel my body as a home and sometimes it becomes an unfamiliar property.
I live under my skin.
Sometimes I come through the walls of my skin to feel, I even open small cracks to the outside, I don’t like exposing too much cause then I am vulnerable.”

About Gaga
Gaga, the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin (Batsheva Dance Company). Gaga is a new way of gaining knowledge and self-awareness through your body. Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening your body and adding flexibility, stamina, and agility while lightening the senses and imagination. Gaga raises awareness of physical weaknesses, awakens numb areas, exposes physical fixations, and offers ways for their elimination. The work improves instinctive movement and connects conscious and unconscious movement, and it allows for an experience of freedom and pleasure in a simple way, in a pleasant space, in comfortable clothes, accompanied by music, each person with himself and others.
www.gagapeople.com

 

CLOUD Club is a dance gathering where one releases the dancer beast from within. It’s not a party. It’s a celebration of movement and a work out.

Every edition we invite a contemporary dancer/choreographer to guide the crowd with warm up, improvisation tasks, games and more.

No expertise required. The best delight is to discover your own way to move. Take your shoes off and release your power on the dance floor.

Marta Reig Torres will be resident at CLOUD/Danslab from 1st of June till 7th of June. During her residency she will organize the workshop ‘Presence & Space’. Read more about her residency and presentation.

About workshop
In this workshop attention will be given to noticing and observing the differences layers that emerge, when we are fully present/aware in what we do while dancing. How do we travel from the specific into the context? How is our dance relating and living in the space? And it communicates to the watcher and the public. Marta is interested to get in touch with our creative mind, and notice the specific moment that movement becomes dance.

She will be taking you through a journey, offering and giving you specific tools that will allow you to connect with yourself and the place from where your natural and personal movement arises. In order to experience the dancing body as a physical, thoughtful, intelligent, emotional, perceptive, spatial, playful, imaginative, musical body. And allow those elements to resonate in the space.

‘’How does the body experience the theme of “Invisible power” (between the body & mind, rational & emotional), but not as contradiction’s forces but as one unity?’’

Marta Reig Torres  will be working together with dancer Angelina Deck and light designer Ellen Knops. One is the second part of a trilogy on which Marta Reig Torres has been working on, titled The Body Minds. Both One and The Body Works were researched and created in CLOUD/Danslab. During this residency, Marta would like to retake the solo One; brainstorm all the information from the previous two works and generate new ideas for the following and future last part of the trilogy called Rooted.

Marta has been working for some time with the theme “Invisible power”. In this short solo she wants to experience the theme through her own body.  To start again from the solo, is looking back at the piece, and material she already has in order to re-start and continue the process that will lead her to the last and final part of this trilogy, which she will do in the near future.

Presentation | The Invisible Dancer | Eline van Ark

Saturday 23 May, 20:00, free entrance

The Invisible Dancer is a sensorial dance performance that will be experienced with closed eyes. Since September 2013 Eline van Ark researched the concept of listening to dance, and the possibilities that it brings. Now she developed a piece to imagine dance and feel the movement of the dancer, without seeing it.
During the creative process of The Invisible Dancer, Eline collaborated with people with a visual impairment, residents of the Amsterdam Transvaal neighborhood, and (dance) artists. With their feedback, knowledge and experience as a base, Eline created this piece. Now she would like to share it with you, and hear how you experienced the dancing in the dark. A choreography about blind trust.


About Eline van Ark
Eline van Ark is a choreographer, dancer, teacher and organizer. Work of Eline is sensorial, interactive, and conceptually simple yet strong. In The Invisible Dancer, the sounds of the dancer will activate your imagination. Sound becomes tangible and movements get under your skin. Do you dare to surrender to the tangibility of the dark? Will you find your safety within the invisibility?
Close your eyes to see beyond the shape of dance, and discover how deep the experience can go.

Choreography: Eline van Ark
Dance: Aida Guirro Salinas
Advice: Diane Elshout

23 May, 14:00-18:00, €20,-

See Facebook event
Registration: elinevanark@gmail.com

In 4 hours we will make a journey through the world of dancing sound and sounding dance. We will be listening to bodies moving, and be the listening bodies.

We will move the sound we just created,
Create movement with sound,
Create space with silence.

We will listen to our inner sound,
Find rhythms and musicality,
And its memory.

We will work with the breath,
As a physical expression,
And a means of communication.

We will find a voice in the invisibility.

The material of the workshop roots in the research of Eline’s project The Invisible Dancer, in which she creates a dance solo for an audience with closed eyes. During the creative process of The Invisible Dancer, Eline collaborated with people with a visual impairment, residents of the Amsterdam Transvaal neighborhood, and (dance) artists. Together with them, she researched the possibilities of listening to dance. With their feedback, knowledge and experience as a base, Eline creates the piece.

Residency Dario Tortorelli & International Dance Day

D NO BODY (becoming the character)

26 April – 10 May

Open Training on Thursday 30 April and Friday 1 May, 10:00-11:30

“Looking for the perfect image, transforming the body into character. My alter ego Romeo Heart. What is the relationship between image and immortality? where does the body stands between these two? How can image influence the performer and his body/state?” 

Dario Torotorelli will be experimenting with his alter ego and existing work ‘Romeo Heart’ as a durational performance. The theme is becoming the character, a contaminated body installed in space while going through transformation. Dario will be working with dancer Judit Ruiz Onandi, who will also host the Open Training during this residency.

About his previous work ‘Romeo Heart’
In a timeless motion, hidden behind his armor ‘Romeo Heart’ remains imperturbable. Pushing the light to different dimensions, bringing tension and resistance to each movement his figure slowly fades out. Inspired by the music of Polmo Polpo, Dario Tortorelli shaped this mysterious character from sound to a living form.  Originally created in 2009, the concept of ‘Romeo Heart’ was presented as a solo for the One Night’s Dance (Dansateliers, Rotterdam) and is the beginning of a series of interdisciplinary works.The performance of ‘Romeo Heart’ is a combination of lighting and powerful sounds that fuses with the endless movement of the body. Romeo Heart has been co-produced with WArd/waRD (Ann van den Broek).


About Dario Tortorelli
Dario Tortorelli (°Italy, 1977) is a choreographer/visual-artist based in The Netherlands. He develops his work under the name of diveinD. In 2009 he shapes the alter ego character ROMEO HEART, used as a main subject in his Shorts and Post Studies that have been exposed as solo performances, art videos and installations. In June 2013 Dario Tortorelli opened a new chapter of the Romeo Heart’s Post Studies by creating the piece “AFTER NEARLY LAND(e)scaping” for seven dancers of ConnyJanssenDanst (Rotterdam). Inspired by film Noir he assembles in this piece the essential elements such as music, light and space in one entity with the subject(s). The strong aesthetic stage setting results in an image of immortality that transforms the performers into characters. In 2014 he creates HARY +++++ (Premiere 4th October 2014, Nederlandse Dansdagen Festival in Maastricht NL). Five bodies as slow-motioned moving sculptures. The 65+ year-old performers are tuned as a group/unity, that gradually separates to become five individual cores. Timing is defined by the tension of the movement. Their bodies are constantly turning around themselves for infinity.

International Dance Day
Wednesday 29 April, 14:30-17:30
For this year’s International Dance Day we invited our the resident of that week, Dario Tortorelli. He will have a durational performance based on his alter ego ‘Romeo Heart.  This performance is part of Dario’s current research at CLOUD.  There is no specific time connected to this performance. You are welcome to walk-in the garden space of De Constant Rebecqueplein any time during 14:30 and 17:30.
