Leeuwarden Workshop, March

14 March 2016 Workshops, General

On Monday March 14th our artistic leader Grietine Molenbuur started the first artistic workshop of Let’s Dance, participated by 10 young dance- and theatre artists. Some of them knew each other, some of them didn’t.

All participants brought an object that associates them with the theme of the project: Migration. A suitcase, a picture; all personal belongings that have something to do with what migration means to them. After a short acquaintance work began.

Grietine and her group explored how different subjects that have to do with migration can be translated into dance and theatre. Answers to her questions were straight away transformed into movement, with and without music.

They all worked very hard in a pleasant atmosphere. During this first workshop it was obvious that the different individuals participating in the project will become a homogeneous group in the next period without them losing their singularity.

At the end of April, ten elderly not-experienced dancers will join them to experience what their body is able to tell and how enriching it can be to experience that together.
