Be the first to experience a work-in-progress and help the maker create it
During an open studio you will get a look behind the scenes in the studio. We highly recommend this experience for anyone who is curious about the creation process of a performance and all cultural connoisseurs. Several times a year we open the Korzo Studio for you to get a taste of a performance or research that is still in the making. The audience not only gets an exclusive preview, but also serves as the first critic.
Dance/circus/music makers invite the public to come and watch during their creative process. This can be for a new performance, but also during residencies and research projects we regularly open the doors to the public. The maker receives the public and for an afternoon you become part of their creative process.
Yaltari will be the third work in the Land Before Time trilogy. It is yet another development of the previous works [...it is contained in...] and Waterkind. The desire to create this new work comes from a strong interest in developing the duo's dance practice further: The exploration of how we can effectively establish a shared "present moment" through wordless communication and without physical contact. The work has themes of sci-fi, water, and fantasy.
The process began with Joanna and Yared referring to their common "state of mind" while dancing together for "Yaltari." This became a way to pinpoint where they are when they dance and to be able to communicate in the process. In Yaltari the focus is on the communication with each other, the whole body communicates as if each body part are their own antennas. Eye contact is rare as the duo wants to emphasize a supercontact that does not require the everyday contact-seeking gaze or physical contact, but one who can listen with their whole body.
In this new process, Joanna and Yared take it a step further and challenge themselves in taking risks, can they be back to back but still improvise in sync together. Can they develop their abilities to sense vibrations without seeing? The new work takes off in a multiverse where multiple universes can exist simultaneously. The duo always finds themselves "here and now" but shifts between three chosen worlds*. The dancers move between parallel universes and the audience is thrown into new environments only to find a new "now."
