The Power of the Unexpected
You are a choreographer and you have one month to create a new performance commissioned by Korzo and NDT. You start digging for that one story that still needs to be told. That of the world, that of yourself, that of the relationship between the two. The days fly by. You search for movements, for the feeling they convey and their place in space. Then the doubts arise. Time ticks away. A month is far too short! There is no more room for yes, but. Only your gut feeling remains – and something beautiful emerges.
And then: showtime. The lights go out, your heart is pounding. With this piece, you show another side of yourself. The audience watches breathlessly. So vulnerable. So special. Here and now.
This year's Here We Live And Now performances are created by Lea Ved, Fay van Baar and Tú Hoàng. You'll want to be there.
Collaboration with Nederlands Dans Theater
Here we live and now is the moment to meet new makers from the dance scene. Every year, Korzo and Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) invite three makers to create within a short creation process a short performance.
