The last three Carpet Sessions were organised by Maria, Zwaan and Esmeralda. With the idea to share our different disciplines: dance, voice and acting.
Last week session the focus was on voice by Zwaan. This time the focus will be on body work and text by Maria and Esmeralda. Esmeralda will share her experience as an actress by using the context abstract or concrete. By being direct and using realistic meaning or placing words in space and being poetic.
How we can influence each other disciplines by using words. Playing with text and add to voice/ music and movement.
We hope to see you this Thursday at Dansstudio, Vredenburgersteeg 31 Amsterdam. Time: 13.00 – 17.00 For no member 5 euro fee for renting studio.
See you soon, Esmeralda and Maria.
Last Carpet Session we worked with three disciplines Maria (dance), Angela and Jesica (voice) and Esmeralda (acting). We choose a theme ‘Lines’ and worked from our own discipline to make a solo of 3/5 min. Later we explored how we could enter from your one discipline into a solo piece of an other discipline.
Questions that popped-up:
Next Thursday we will continue the research of working with different disciplines.
All disciplines are welcome for our session to share and explore the beginnings of piece, the shifts and the work in process of the different approach of each other’s art tools.
See you at dance studio Vredenbrugersteeg 31, Amsterdam, thursday 13.00 – 17.00

We are delighted to invite you to our sessions to share with you strategies, insights, thoughts, challenges and playful moments we encountered during our collaboration.
Our creative process resulted to three performances; two in Berlin( Impro Exchange Festival, July 2016 and Impro Per Arts Festival, June 2017) and one in Amsterdam, Ot301 , June 2016).
During our research project, we worked on bringing together three different disciplines: acting, voice and dance. By using their specific attributes we envisioned to create a common ground where the three disciplines meet.
Applying the formal elements of improvisation-time, space, dynamics, relationships, composition-we were looking for creating a context from within stories are unfolding in the present time. These stories defined the content of our improvisation that is expressing itself through movement, text and vocalisation.
Our attention was drawn to different sources such as: sensory information, inner dialogue, outside environment and the collective narrative of the improvisation. Various and complex focal points of attention that were coming together and asked to be danced, sung, spoken and shared.
The key aspect of our work is that voice and language are not separate from our physical and sensorial experience..
Your presence, participation, sharing and exchanging is very welcome.
Looking forward to on Thursday 9th, 16th and 23 from 13.00 – 17.00.
At Dansstudio Vredenburgersteeg 31-35 Amsterdam
