Who makes the decisions here: body or mind? Bodies of Work searches for a new balance and puts body and mind in the right place.
Choreographers Liat Waysbort and duo Lara & Aviva searched for answers with their dancers over the past months. During this double bill they present the final result of these Get Moving trajectories, in two totally different performances about mind & matter.
A performance about the relationship between the mind and the body. About the connection, or perhaps more accurately, the disconnection between the two. Have we become walking heads? Is the body now just a means of transport for the brain? The brain walks to the laptop and back to bed. From 9 to 5, day in and out. There's hardly any time to feel and listen to your body. What is the function of our body in this time?
From Tel Aviv to Rotterdam, Liat Waysbort has taken the dance world by storm with her undeniable talent and creativity. After her impressive career with the Batsheva Dance Company, she graduated from the CoDarts Dance Academy in Rotterdam and founded her own dance organization: Bitter Sweet Dance.
Besides being a choreographer, Liat is also a passionate and inspired teacher at the Theateracademie Amsterdam. This is how she shares her knowledge and experience with the next generation of dance makers. Her classes are a source of inspiration, in which she encourages students to find their artistic voice and explore their physical potential.
Choreographers Lara and Aviva have shared an inspiring collaboration for several years. Fun fact: this collaboration started when they themselves danced at Get Moving!
Their work often has a theatrical twist where serious themes are approached in a light-hearted way using humor. Their movement language can be described as dynamic, vibrant and physical, and consists mainly of contemporary dance with influences from club and street styles.
Working with professional creators and discovering and developing your talent. Those are the Young Talent programs of Get Moving, for young people between the ages of 15 and 25. Would you like to participate? Keep an eye on our website for more information!
"The Get Moving performance is one of the most beautiful moments of the season for me, because it really belongs to the young people. Under the guidance of professional makers, their stories, ideas and qualities are translated to the stage. The pleasure of dancing, the talent and the individuality of our youngest generation of dancers radiates from it."
