Why you should know Faizah, Sheree and Andrea better.
Promising dancers who stand on the stage as people of flesh and blood. Fragile, combative and passionate. Who can better select and guide such dancers than Conny Janssen? For the annual talent development trajectory ‘Danslokaal’ she selected three young makers in collaboration with Dansateliers and Korzo: Faizah Grootens, Sheree Lenting and Andrea Constanzo Martini. For them a chance to create new work with professional guidance and that for the amazing dancers of Conny Janssen Danst. For us a chance to discover why these are the makers who have something inventive and unique to add to the world of dance.
FAIZAH GROOTENS
“Faizah Grootens brings a unique and powerful perspective to the stage. Inspired by her Curaçao and Caribbean background, she weaves together various dance styles into a signature style all her own, full of rhythm, intensity and expressiveness. She creates choreographies that touch, excite and continue to fascinate. Her work combines contemporary dance, relevance and temperament, making every performance a compelling and intense experience.”

JIMMY-PIERRE DE GRAAF (General director Korzo)
SHEREE LENTING
“Sheree is a storyteller par excellence. She captures personal stories powerfully and gives people a voice. With a strong vision, she sheds light on histories that often remain underexposed, and effortlessly connects the past, present and future. In this way, she grants her audience, team and herself a richer view of history, traditions and the future.”

LISA REINHEIMER (Director Dansateliers)
ANDREA COSTANZO MARTINI
“With his infectious work, Andrea has a completely unique style in which humor and communication play a major role. Not only communication between the dancers; his work is also about the dialogue with the audience. I am very curious to see how Andrea, in collaboration with the dancers of Conny Janssen Danst, creates a new story.”
