Decomposing Manifest: Performances

Groningen <3 Rotterdam: presence, pressure and collapse
WORM Rotterdam
Start → 14:00
End → 18:00

! We’ll start at Dansateliers !

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.

Who is who?
Nina Wijnmaalen is a visual choreographer, creating performances on the crossroads of theater, dance and visual arts.
Nina Iggy is a performance artist who explores the deepest layers of human existence with a poetic, visual approach. The use of materials in their raw form is something that characterizes her artistic signature. She works with creature-designer and raw-materialist Jos Jacob.
Mylan Hoezen explores the mind-body connection, challenging and transcending physical limitations to deepen awareness and endurance. He will further develop his performance at The Watermill Center in New York.
Dansateliers is an independent house for the development of dance and a home for dance artists.
