Researching with wonderful Lena Niessen @eehmacalena <3
Improvising based on shared spatial actions and rhythms.
Working on clarity of what we are proposing and how we relate to the other, yet letting intuition flow.

Leaving school for a year. That is what the finals are like for graduates of the bachelor’s programme Dance Artist. Students graduate by working full-time in the field.
Patrick (@patrick_wiel ) joined @poeticdisastersclub , where he encountered many different situations: performing in theatres, churches and museums, meeting many new makers and working closely with an intimate group of people.
The internship taught him how to take ownership over his own work. And he discovered what his ambitions are: “My most important goal is to keep my desire for dancing alive. I want to find my place within the community and I would like to pass my knowledge onto others.”

"Terrarium [The tender indifference of the world]"
... is a piece with a sandpaper texture. Rough, raw and wild, the piece explores the gregariousness and indifference we show towards the social context that surrounds us.

“Addio Unplugged”
Shorter version of the original piece “Addio alla fine” by ICK Amsterdam, created for the first year students of ArtEZ Bachelor of Dance. Mounting by Vincent Colomès.
Such a joy to dance this piece. Still full from the weeks of working on it, from the shows this weekend. Happy to be here right now. Time to process and digest.
