BLACK opening night friday 13.11 at 19.00 Barker Theater Turku Finland

                 
                                         BLACK a solo dance for 2

Black is an intense, rough, mysterious solo dance in rage and peace in a bare environment with nothing else but a floor, lights, music.  And dance. Back to the instrument that matters most..the body. All additional and artificial grace is abandoned. Back to zero. Fragile and vulnerable yet brave and daring after 30 years of being in a home away from home.

Black Opening Night on friday 13.11 at 19.00 in Barker

Working in Kunsthal 45 in Den Helder, the Netherlands

During June I rehearse a new choreography in Den Helder, the Netherlands. 

I'm going to work in Kunsthal45 during the artist in residence program Air! 

On June 20 at 21.30 I will perform during an improvised evening  together with musician Jussi Paananen who plays the violin,  in Kunsthal45. 

At the same time artist in residence Baukje Spaltro works on her series of paintings Den Nieuwen Helder. 

Our impro will be inspired by Baukjes paintings, the space and the creative atmosphere of Kunsthal 45.

The other days I rehearse a new choreography which will be performed in Barker Theater in Turku ; BLack.

Opening night 16.5 Barker Theater : Windwhisper / Vindviskare

A choreography from Marjan Raar based on the art works from graphic artist Veronika Ringbom. 

Veronika selected her art works into 3 different themes; Obsession, Fragile and the Windwhisper. 

Video artist Anikó Kuikka collected the works of Ringbom and gave her own artistic interpretation to it, which resulted in a strong and playful movie which covers the wall behind the dancer.

Marjan Raar makes this choreography for dancer Linda Holmström and works with the strong female energy arising from Ringbom’s art works. 

                                        A piece about breaking and cherishing femininity
