Conny Janssen Danst’s DANS LOKAAL #12 on tour

Until 3rd December.

DANSLOKAAL is Conny Janssen Danst’s annual talent development project, in which talented makers are invited to develop new work with the dancers of the Rotterdam company.

Artistic director Conny Janssen selects a special variety of talent each edition in collaboration with Dansateliers and Korzo. In DANSLOKAAL #12 these are:

  • Bas van der Kruk (Dansateliers)
  • Sarada Sarita (Korzo)
  • Charlie Skuy (Conny Janssen Danst)

The young makers are given the opportunity to work on the development of their own signature within the professional context of the company. The result is a surprising performance with three new works, made for and with the dancers of Conny Janssen Danst.

The frameworks within which the choreographers have to work are by definition limited and it depends on the choreographer in question whether he sees this as a challenge or a limitation, and that is exactly what makes this initiative worthwhile. Theaterkrant (About Danslokaal 11 in 2023)
