How do young dancers and performers view diversity?
In two dance performances by Get Moving, you will discover their refreshing perspective.
Celebrating Differences is the festive closing performance of Korzo’s Get Moving, an intensive programme for dancers and performers aged 15 to 25. Guided by makers Vainergill Thurnim and Zoë Greten, these young movers explored how differences do not have to drive us apart, but can actually bring us closer together.
During this evening, you will experience two dance performances, each offering its own perspective on diversity. Together with the performers, you are invited into their inner worlds: what they feel, what moves them and what they dare to share. Differences are not erased, but made visible, celebrated and shared.
Expect an evening full of energy, emotion, transformation and a shared love for dance. A meeting between makers, performers and audience, where vulnerability is not a weakness, but a strength.

Vainergill Thurnim
Vainergill Thurnim creates work driven by the desire to build spaces in which people feel seen and heard—with their whole being. Her working method is open, sensitive, and carefully structured. Vulnerability is not a weakness, but a strength.
Vainergill has previously worked with large and diverse groups in projects such as BLINDSIGHT, Dat de zon altijd schijnt, and ECHOES. Thanks to her background as a dance teacher, she is skilled at guiding different levels, learning styles, and personalities. The rehearsal space is safe, structured, and inviting, with attention to mutual exchange.
She graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Dance (Dance Education) and has a broad background in both commercial and contemporary dance, with influences from (West) African dance techniques. Vainergill has collaborated with, among others, Alida Dors, Roshanak Morrowatian, Frascati, Podium Mozaïek, ITA, Danstheater AYA, and DOX.
Zoë Greten
Zoë Greten is a Dutch dancer and choreographer. She graduated from the Dutch National Ballet Academy and completed an internship with NDT 2 during her final year. As a dancer, she is affiliated with IID Company and works on a wide range of artistic projects. She has created work for Dutch National Ballet and also develops her own independent choreographies. Her work has been presented at Dutch Dance Days and Korzo, among others. In 2025, she received the Leo Spreksel Award at Korzo.
Her movement practice is rooted in contemporary dance and connects the aesthetics of ballet with the dynamics and groundedness of hip hop. Zoë approaches movement as a physical form of storytelling, driven by emotion, intention and imagination. Improvisation plays a central role, encouraging individuality and creativity among the dancers. Her work is clear and precise, while leaving space for each dancer’s individual physicality. Themes such as human experience, emotion and transformation are central to her practice, within a studio environment that is also a place for joy and a shared love of dance.
