Award-winning dance piece about masculinity, friendship and competition.
Celebrated choreographer Dalton Jansen shares the stage with two dance friends and a spoken word artist during the energetic To the Edge 3. Together, in sparse light, they create a trio (or rather a quartet) full of organic alternation between competition and camaraderie.
To the Edge 3 unrolls as an amicable embrace where the audience sits around the floor and is led into this male friendship through the poetry of spoken word artist Fred Santos. Dalton Jansen together with his performers in To the Edge 3 shows a sensitive and layered perspective on masculinity.
Dalton Jansen is an enterprising creator who moves through the field with a strong connecting force, trying to make both his own dreams and those of his performers come true. After his training in Urban Contemporary at the Academy for Theater and Dance in Amsterdam, Dalton Jansen, with the support of DOX, Dansateliers, Conny Janssen Danst and Theater Rotterdam, among others, breaks through barriers for himself, other creators of color or young urban dancers wherever possible. That takes drive, and let him have plenty of it.
Dalton Jansen appeals to the raw and intimate in his work, unites different dance languages and puts reconciliation next to distance. In this way he steadily takes up his own position within the dance field. His work is craftily composed and crawls deep within.
