Sluyswacht
BY MANDAFOUNIS
Commissioned by expanded contemporary dance
Using their bodies as tools the 24 performers storm into the space offering, their presence, their dance and their connexion with each other in order to share their passion for dance with the audience. In a constantly transforming environment the dancers improvise their way through the predefined structure.
Each dancer is responsible for making choreographic proposals in order to support the progression of the piece.
The challenge of creating a work for students lays at the crossroad between the teachings of a specific craft as well as asking the students to behave responsibly in a professional context. The thin balance between these two polarities is what makes « Sluyswacht » vibrant and alive.
