UBIK Performance Night / Move & Heal

For the 6th of April we invited three local dancers/performers, who are deeply connected to the medium of movement and bodily expressions. Hybrid, ritualistic, healing, metamorphic transformations as well as deeply connecting back to their roots: to the moments when as children or young adults felt connected to movement and it’s properties.
Our UBIK theatre presents for this night "Move & Heal" where you can particiapte, wittness and interact.
After the show, you are invited to join an open Q&A and informal hangout and get to know the performing artists and their journey and practice.

Performing artists of the night are:

Claudio Maria Silvia / clamarsiling / is a dancer, researcher and performer from an island in the Mediterranean Sea where the Earth cracks open, letting its guts spill out in the embrace of the sun. Inspired by these visceral experiences, their practices stem from an intention for grounding and genuine curiosity for what is yet to be integrated in the light. They wander through the physical organism towards inner- scapes, opening up paths for growth and transformation.
About the piece
Diary of a Dandelion’s Roses recalls a vision of a withered flower that keeps on blooming in continuous becoming, multiplying its petals and amplifying its prosperity at each cycle. A creature that continuously shed its skins as a reminder of ever flowing metamorphoses.

Olyve Dewi
Nikki-Olyve Kruijswijk is a performance artist whose ritualistic dance practice positions the body as a transcendental instrument, holding space for a dialogue with her ancestry. At the heart of her art practice lays her movement as her medicine, rooted in her multi-cultural background. Through her arts allowing human form and the formless to merge.
By starting to bring medicine to our own body through the deeper layers of our subconsciousness,
we can bring healing to the body of systemic structures. All of which contribute to a broader inquiry into the body as both a site and a medium for the expression of the cosmic womb. Inviting the audience into a shared contemplation of creation’s. May the richness of ritual be brought back to European ground.
About the artist
About the work

Seré
Seré is… alive. Alive in the characters she brings into flesh: from a land far far away yet Rotterdam-based, this is a performer and lover of the monstrous, the hybrid, the disgustingly hot, the excitingly scary, the othered, the assimilated and the beyond. Her work moves from the other-worldly, as in, the other worlds we could imagine after and/or beyond this crumbling one by re-creating our mythological stories (i.e. capitalism, the patriarchy, etc etc etc)"
