Conny Janssen Danst provides opportunities for young talent through DANSLOKAAL, the talent development project where young artists are invited to develop new work together with the dancers of Conny Janssen Danst. In its annual DANSLOKAAL the dance company opens its doors to a varied group of creative artists.
For each event artistic director Conny Janssen selects promising choreographers with diverse backgrounds in collaboration with Dansateliers and Korzo. The contributors to DANSLOKAAL 12 are Bas van der Kruk (Dansateliers), Sarada Sarita (Korzo) and Charlie Skuy (Conny Janssen Danst). In DANSLOKAAL they get the opportunity to work on the development of their own signature within the professional context of the company. The result is a surprising dance evening with three new pieces, created for and with the dancers of Conny Janssen Danst.
DANSLOKAAL 12 will premiere during the Nederlandse Dansdagen festival. The performance can then be seen in the intimate setting of HUIS Conny Janssen Danst in Rotterdam and will then tour the theatres. This gives the loyal audience of Conny Janssen Danst the opportunity to become acquainted with the work of these young, up-and-coming choreographers, who in turn can bring their work to national attention.
Dansateliers en Korzo are the creative partners of DANSLOKAAL 12.
> DANSLOKAAL 12 can be seen from Friday, October 4 to Tuesday, December 3, 2024. Times & tickets will soon be available via this website and the websites of the theaters.
The frameworks within which the choreographers have to work are by definition limited and it depends on the choreographer in question whether he or she sees this as a challenge or limitation and that is exactly what makes this initiative worthwhile. Theaterkrant (in 2023 about DANSLOKAAL 11)
