Fragment of the choreography The Sublimeness of NoBody created for the Dutch Nationale Ballet Junior company broadcasted for the Dutch Television NPO2 (October 2022) for the 25 year of the festival of the Dutch Dance ( 25-jaar Nederlandse Dansdagen)

 

The Sublimeness of NoBody

The Sublimeness of Nobody allows you to experience your imagination through your body.  

I am taking the dancers from what they know, the classical ballet form which they are so familiar with, into unfamiliar territory where they get in touch with their inner selves and their imaginary realm.

The dancers are living sculptures. We worked especially on how the movement lives inside them and how their bodies are a metaphor for ever-changing and transforming life.

I am passionate about connection, belonging and feeling the empowerment of being in the moment. That is what sublime means to me and what happens if we pay attention to ourselves, to others and to the world. I want to understand what transformation means to evolve.

I believe that listening and looking at the world through the body can make us more aware of what connects us as human beings, besides our differences, our identity, our ideas or different cultures.
