WORM Rotterdam
Start → 14:00
End → 18:00

Performance artists — Nina Wijnmaalen, Nina Iggy & Jos Jacob, and Mylan Hoezen — present a programme of live works that move between states of presence, pressure, and collapse.

(One dissects intimacy and human connection)
((Another slips into the chaos of making))
(((A third tests the edge of the body)))

What started as a conversation between 3 solo artists, evolved into an ever-growing gathering of performers:
* Mylan Hoezen invites Amsterdam based band Prom Vagabonds for a drone-y audio-physical collaboration. Nina Iggy & Jos Jacob will open up their studio practice and let their creatures out.
* Nina Wijnmaalen will bring a piano and 7 performers.
* Together they invite programme maker Jente Poiesz to co-create a performance manifest with the audience.

The programme unfolds across Dansateliers and WORM in Rotterdam, and concludes with the live drafting of a collective manifesto, guided by Jente Poiesz.
