Conny Janssen Danst

KIEM | 13, 14, 15 mar

The 100 hands / Moving Futures Festival

Show me | 20 mar

In Show me three female dance performers use their bodies, language and physical interaction to explore the do's and don'ts around 'looking, showing and being watched' with an audience. Where do you place yourself? In the dark or close to one of the spotlights that illuminate the space? Who looks at who, what is revealed by what we look at and how easily do you look at someone when you are seen by others?

Sigrid Stigsdatter Mathiassen / Osa+Mujika / Moving Futures Festival

Cold Hawaii / Loser | 20 mar

In Cold Hawaii, Sigrid layers text, movement and sound and aims to find the places where they cross and meet. How do they become the same and yet again different? Loser by OSA+MUJIKA is about the constant need to show a perfect life, in order to fill an endless void. It’s about the criticized, sometimes envied generation called Millennials, that hides a deep, true unhappiness. How to deal with a void that we never manage to fill?

Andreas Hannes / Moving Futures Festival

Tremble | 20 mar

Andreas Hannes continues his work with the practice of continuous skipping – as in skipping down the street. In Tremble, a group of dancers embarks on a journey without a destination. They move across the stage by drawing geometrical patterns and falling in and out of rhythm. With the sustained cadence and original music of composer Rival Consoles, Tremble highlights a space that is in transit, pulling you on a road-trip, in which your memories and inspirations intertwine.
