Happening now :

Jetsummer Danceweeks are halfway. We had three wonderful weeks with intense workshops with Lali Ayguade, Julyen Hamilton and Roxane Huilmand, a weekend workshop shiatsu, a lively workshop for kids, very interesting lectures, a nice performance of Ju lyen Hamilton & co, a successful first edition of the Dance Film Festival and a great party. This week, Erika Faccini is teaching for the amateurs, next week Petra Hrascanec and Julien Monty dive into ‘Meaning and practice’, and last but not least David Zambrano will focus on ‘Improvisation for performers’. 11 July and 18 July the teachers of the workshop give a lecture, a very nice way to get to know more about their work.

Coming up :

Daniel Linehan, who was selected for a residency in Danscentrumjette in February, will be ‘artiste associé’ in deSingel next season.

Our resident Bara Sigfusdottir received the good news that she will be supported by VGC for her project ‘On the other side of a sand dune’, that will have its premiere the last week of September, here in Danscentrumjette.

Last year’s resident Andros Zins-Browne will perform ‘The Host’ with Jaime Llopis-Segarra and Sidney Leoni in Mousonturm Frankfurt (DE) on June 21-23, in Palais des Spectacles St. Etienne (FR) on July 7 and in Drodesera Dro (IT) on July 24, 25.
