ON GRAVITY'
Dance performance opening for the exposition EVE'S, ISAAC'S AND MIINE.

EVE'S, ISAAC'S AND MIINE is a group exhibition that presents new works by five Amsterdam-based artists: Hee-Seung Choi, Sarah Mei Herman, Sanja Medic, Barbara Rink and Kay Schuttel. The works take up metaphysical views on gravity as a fundamental aspect of the universal order, in our everyday experiences and our wider thinking. The exhibition explores the emotional, moral, physical and scientific consequences of the phenomena whereby things are pulled down.

MEMENTO MORI














Memento Mori reflects on the fragile existence of human beings and the many emotional and physical struggles immigrants crossing the Mediterranean sea face. Life as a small boat navigating in the big sea of uncertainty. Death as an unavoidable transition to the unknown. Life & death, courage and fear, strong & vulnerable. Is there any borders?

Crack of Dawn

This evening houses two performances by dancers and musicians, brought together by Ana Leonor Ladas and Lily Kiara.

(Instant) Choreographers Ana Leonor Ladas and Lily Kiara have met each other in the dance scene in Amsterdam. They discovered common interests in their dance training as well as in their dance making. Both have dedicated their attention intensively to working with stillness and fierceness in their own performances. Out of this realization came the desire to create work together. This evening is the beginning of that creating.

For the first pierce they collaborate with musician Ab Baars. The attention is on stillness. For the second piece, the group has been put together with emphasis on fierceness, and individual voices making up the whole.

Crack of Dawn
1. Ana Leonor Ladas (dance), Lily Kiara (dance), Ab Baars (clarinet, shakuhachi)

2. Ab Baars (clarinet, saxophone, shakuhachi), Han Buhrs (vocals, text), Leo Svirsky (piano), Noha Ramadan (dance), Ana Leonor Ladas (dance), Lily Kiara (dance), Michael Schumacher (tbc) (dance)

R_ESISTERE 
choreography by Giulio D'Anna


R-ESISTERE is a dance-concert on the theme of resistance. It originates from the desire of embodying a sense of revolution and it portrays protest as an essential part of being human, challenging the social beliefs around it. The performers embody a manifesting crowd with the energy of a rock concert audience. We all fight for or against something; can we make our fight exciting and worth the effort?
R-ESISTERE is not about revolution. It is the manifestation of the trust that things will go better: love will appear, sooner or later, we just need to endure a bit longer and keep our voices loud.

Concept and direction - Giulio D’Anna 
Dancers Lana Čoporda, Miryam Mariblanca, Ana Ladas, Fabian Holle, John Taylor 
Music composition Maarten Bokslag and Tom Nestelaar 
Set design Jasper Van Roden 
Direction assistant and production Agnese Rosati 
Intern Jouke Istar Rouwenhorst (dance), Vanessa Sgarra (costume), Laura Wallrafen (lights) 
Artistic advisor Kristin de Groot

La compagnie L’Âme-de-Fonds, en résidence au Centre de Culture ABC, vous propose de découvrir la composition instantanée en danse et musique. « Interstice » est une pièce qui se nourrit de ce qui réside entre les gestes, entre les sons ; une pièce qui se faufile comme une fissure le long d’une veine de la roche ; une pièce qui plonge dans l’instant jusqu’à nous révéler, peut-être, certains espaces phréatiques de l’être.

Pièce en Composition Instantanée par la compagnie L’Âme-de-Fonds
La compagnie L’Âme-de-Fonds, en résidence au centre de culture ABC, vous propose de découvrir la composition instantanée en danse et musique. Les danseurs-corpuscules sont de petites parcelles de matière perceptibles au travers des lignes qui les relient. Ensemble, ils tissent un treillis qui tamise l’espace et y récolte les sons, les images, les mots ambiants, leur donnant substance. La pièce s’écrit sous vos yeux et c’est votre regard qui lui donne sens. Produit par Le Chambart.
Chorégraphie : Collaboration artistique Simon Halbedo & Giacomo Calabrese

POOL: The Strings, The Breath, The Bodies
Dance improvisation at Festival Platzhirsch - Duisburg

Als “Pool” überschreibt der Komponist und Gitarrist Thorsten Töpp sein neuestes Projekt: ein Pool von KünstlerInnen, die Töpp im Laufe der vergangenen Jahre besonders wichtig geworden sind, werden in Beziehung gebracht. Gesucht wird das Überraschende, das Risiko, das Unkalkulierbare. Das Amsterdamer Duo Kim-José Bode und Ana Ladas, das allein schon höchst spannend Tanz und Musik verbindet, trifft auf den Weltklassebratschisten Vincent Royer, auf Größen der Improvisierten Musik wie Eckard Koltermann und Stefan Werni und auf ungewöhnliche Visuals… Ein wahrhaft grenzüberschreitendes Erlebnis, radikal unplugged und auf der Tanzfläche des Grammatikoff inszeniert – zum Greifen nahe.

Kim-José Bode – Blockflöten
Eckard Koltermann – Klarinetten, Saxophone
Vincent Royer – Viola
Thorsten Töpp – Konzertgitarre
Stefan Werni – Kontrabass
Oliver Birk – Vibraphon, Percussion
Ana Ladas – Tanzimprovisation

THE WHITE NOISE ORCHESTRA
Collective instant composing on silence & low dynamic areas

The White Noise Orchestra/TWNO is initiated in 2010 by contra bassist and crackle boxist Raoul van der Weide as an ongoing experimental project.TWNO functions as a 'pool' of improvisers dedicated to the concept/point of departure and representing creative performers from different backgrounds: acoustic music, dance, light design and live-electronics. TWNO explores and develops systematically the possibilities of collective improvisations in the context of low sonic dynamics  and sparse but unpredictable configurations of sound, noise, and pitch structures. dive into the realm of the near-silent sonic universe. TWNO's specific approach represents a fascinating artistic challenge and outspoken contribution to improvised music as a vital tradition. TWNO performs in shifting formats between trio and full 16 piece ensemble.
