In Art I Trust Over the past months we have seen

In Art I Trust

Over the past months we have seen our art form threatened, challenged, questioned and cancelled. We have had to look for the answers to the problems that we are all facing in real time - together. We have had to try to find our way forward without really knowing where we are going.

While we still face an uncertain future we can learn to understand that it is only, truly, the artists who must take care of the art - and I believe we will. It has brought me such joy to see our community unite, helping and inspiring each other to take the next steps on our journey toward the moment when we can be united on stage and realise the dreams of what can happen beyond and into tomorrow.

The challenges we face, we will face together, and I believe it is the overcoming of difficulty that brings evolution, maturity, discovery, maybe even a sense of enlightenment. While our artistry has experienced so much limitation, it is in the outpouring of creativity, revealing itself in so many beautiful ways, that proves we can continue to overcome obstacles and remain strong - together.

Never stop creating - just create more.

Thank you to all for staying so strong and finding new ways of showing the world the power and the passion of what we do. As this season officially comes to a close I wish everyone a welcome rest for the heart and mind - and the gathering of strength for 2020/2021. Let’s look forward to everything the future will bring!

Tonight - Dutch National Ballet present a double b

Tonight - Dutch National Ballet present a double bill of my work with performances of CITIZEN NOWHERE (created in 2017) and OVERTURE (created in 2013), and will be available to watch until June 20 - click on this link and enjoy → https://bit.ly/fb-ballet-stream

Both ballets include specially comissioned music by @szybrzu performed by Barbara Drążkowska and @hetballetorkest , set designs by @eeennnooo , costumes by @yumiko , and light design by Bert Dalhuysen. Citizen Nowhere was specially created for, and is performed by soloist and Golden Swaan award nominee - @edowijnen - and includes beautiful film created by @altin.kaftira.
CITIZEN NOWHERE was created as a portrait about childhood, love, immortality, friendship and fear, and about being human during a time in our world history when the ‘lonely modern predicaments of statelessness and extended refugee status seem to diminish the opportunities for so many, but never the humanity of those who live out their existence within them.’ You can find out more about this ballet at; https://www.daviddawson.com/work/citizen-nowhere/

#OVERTURE is a journey through the different stages of personal relationships, the relationship of an individual to his/her society, and our relationship towards the ever growing technology we live with. Beginnings become endings, and endings turn once again into beginnings. Plus and minus. Yin and yang. Warm and cold. Chaos and order. Love, joy and reconciliation versus farewells, rejections, and pain.
