Aukelien / Two minus one explores the boundaries between restriction and freedom of movement, within space and time, throughout a movement score. The starting point is the artists’ interest in the body language of the Dutch saxophonist Aukelien Kleinpenning, while playing Le Fr^ene Egare by Francois Ross’e. Inspired by her performance, the choreographers created a movement score, focusing on the use of breath, arm gestures, repetitions and upper body motion. The experience of time is a key feature of the piece, diversely perceived from the audience and the performers.

This piece is an exploration of upper body motion, investigating the emotional theme of the words “fighting through” with courage to be your-self. One
important key-element in this work is – being in the moment! The performer’s aim is to let the physical effect of the motion take them on a personal performance journey in which immediate coping with in a set framework of a score allows the performer to deal with known, conscious as well as unconscious elements with in their moment of performance. Situations in our lives when certain restrictions can create inner courage and strengths, which suddenly turns these restricted situations into a tool for more personal freedom.

Nomai is a minimalist piece that explores energy in relationships and investigates closeness and distance on a physical, mental and sensory level. Inspired by the work of Gerhard Richter, Nomai works composes images and blurs them, creating ambiguity and avoiding imposing a meaning. The space, used in a formal and linear manner and the perception of time are the core of the exploration: the pace of the piece wants to give the audience time to immerse themselves in the images and the attitude of the performers welcomes the spectators into the work. Nomai is a sensitive and revealing piece, characterized by a special energy that vibrates throughout its length.
