Description
“DS/DM is a way of preparing the body for dance that is inherent to your thinking and your imagination. It needs a connection with your own choices, also during the improvisation with other elements and choreographic materials. The experience creates a condition and an opening, it is not something fixed by rules that say: this is how you should dance. It is rather the opposite, you use it, and then you contrast it in an open field of intervention and manipulation".
- Emio Greco
ENGLISH BELOW
Elke week opent ICK haar deuren om onze dansmethode te delen met jou. Tijdens de les wordt de sensitiviteit van het lichaam ontdekt door middel van vier basisprincipes: breathing, jumping, expanding en reducing. Elk onderdeel gaat gepaard met meerdere oefeningen die organisch in elkaar overlopen, veelal gestimuleerd door geluid en muziek.
De lessen zijn voor iedereen geschikt ongeacht leeftijd of conditieniveau en worden gegeven in het Engels.
De DS/DM-methode is ontwikkeld door choreografen Emio Greco en Pieter C. Scholten en staat aan de basis van iedere voorstelling van ICK Amsterdam. Het wordt al vele jaren wereldwijd onderwezen en speelt een essentiële rol in de overdracht naar dansers, studenten, amateurdansers, scholen en het bedrijfsleven.

Every week ICK opens its doors to share our dance method with you. During the classes the sensitivity of the body is discovered through four basic principles: breathing, jumping, expanding and reducing. Each part is accompanied by several exercises that flow organically, often stimulated by sound and music.
The classes are suitable for everyone, no matter age or physical condition and are given in English.
The DS/DM method has been developed by choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten and is at the basis of every performance of ICK Amsterdam. It has been taught worldwide for many years and plays an essential role in the transfer to dancers, students, amateur dancers, schools and the business world.

Ietje en Fietje zijn twee oude vrouwtjes die samenwonen, waarschijnlijk al hun
hele leven.
Ze hebben niet veel nodig, want ze hebben elkaar en hun fantasie. Hierdoor
belande ze constant in de meest grappige en onsamenhangende situaties waarvan ze
zelf niet weten of het voortkomt uit dementie of uit plezier, maar waardoor ze
zich nooit vervelen en eeuwig jong blijven.
Totdat de buitenwereld plots binnenvalt in de vorm van een brief: “Ietje, Fietje
trek jullie baljurk aan, dan kunnen jullie samen naar het bal toegaan.” Dit
veroorzaakt onrust en heisa in het huis van de vrouwtjes.
Het Kleine Theater bestaat uit Vimala en Anke, allebei actrice. Na jaren te
hebben gewerkt bij diverse theatergezelschappen, en in verschillende
televisieproducties en films te hebben gespeeld, zijn ze in 2011 een eigen
jeugdtheatergezelschap begonnen.
Samen maken ze nu al ruim 10 jaar theater voor jong en oud. Er staan 15
voorstellingen op het repertoire, allemaal met veel humor, mooie muziek en gekke
personages. De voorstellingen zijn gebaseerd op oude verhalen, liedjes of
bekende sprookjes, waar een heel eigen draai aan is gegeven, zodat het niet eng
is voor de kleinste bezoeker, maar ook zeker niet saai voor de oudste.
’t ZONNEHUIS OP ZIJN KOP is een jeugdtheaterreeks van Stichting Stadsherstel
Cultureel om jeugdtheatermakers een podium te geven en ‘t Zonnehuis
toegankelijker te maken voor de buurt. Kom op de derde zondag van de maand (van
oktober t/m december 2023 en maart t/m mei 2024) naar ’t Zonnehuis in
Amsterdam-Noord voor de leukste familievoorstellingen! Fantasierijk, vrolijk en
muzikaal theater voor peuters en kleuters en natuurlijk hun (groot)ouders en
begeleiders. We verwelkomen elke keer een ander gezelschap!

In the Making #5: Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian, Experiencing Text and Textile. In
this session researchers Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian ask the following
questions: How does light feel on the body? What sort of togetherness is there
in reading text?
They will explore tangible and intangible experiences of voice and textile
light. In their practice, both artists are interested in ways of communicating
aesthetic experience. Procedures of documentation and transmission bring up
questions concerning audience, spectatorship and participation in the art field
and artistic research. We aim to open up for participative thinking and valuing
aesthetic and experiential knowledge of ourselves and others.
Artist and designer Barbro Scholz deals with experiential qualities of tangible
(textiles) and intangible (light) materials, and how their interplay invites for
novel forms of performativity.
Performer and artist Li Lorian is interested in practices of reading text, to
oneself and outloud, voicing and finding new means of commonality. Both of them
have an interest in movement, affect, and entanglement to be investigated in a
playful, participatory, collaborative research. This session is a great
opportunity for them to find ways to share their yet unformulated thoughts in an
experiential method with an audience.

IN THE MAKING
The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art
Institute West Den Haag are pleased to announce their close collaboration in the
new public series ‘In the Making’. In six public sessions they will present to
the public different practices of research in the arts.
Artistic production has always expressed the forms in which we know, explore,
and sense the world we live in. The current practice of research in the arts
consciously assumes this exploration. In the past decades the focus on research
in the domain of the arts has grown – as well as its role in universities and
other research contexts – expressing its engagement with the realities of the
world at large.
‘In The Making’ will address how artists conduct their research. Guest artist
researchers and artist researchers from Leiden University will present their
projects, approaches to research, methods and results. Each session will address
questions inherent to these projects. ‘In The Making’ aims to deepen a
perspective which conceives of artistic practice not as the sole product of
individual visionaries but as a collective endeavor embedded in society. It
addresses the role of art in the construction of the present and the creation of
possible futures.

stormachtige voorstelling met zes dansers en drie musici.
STORM is een achtbaan van dans en muziek: van gedragen beweging, iconische
gebaren en rituele precisie tot ingehouden en directe emoties uitgevoerd door
een jonge cast van zes dansers en musici David Kweksilber op (bas)klarinet,
David Mackor op theorbe en Dominique Chabot op contrabas. De jonge modeontwerper
Carlijn Veurink voegt daar met haar autonome sculpturale kostuums een laag aan
toe.
STORM klinkt dreigend, maar dans en muziek zijn intiem, als een bezwering van de
storm. Klank en beweging roepen een echo op van oude Griekse volksfeesten,
afwisselend ritueel en emotioneel.
Elementen als cirkelbewegingen, ingehouden energie als stilte voor de storm en
het passionele van de Griekse dans en muziek vormen de basis. Die echo wint aan
momentum door de gezamenlijke nieuwe ordeningsprincipes waarmee Calliope
Tsoupaki en LeineRoebana dans en muziek doen versmelten.
LeineRoebana staat bekend om haar cross-disciplinaire producties waarin dans en
muziek samensmelten tot één geheel. Calliope Tsoupaki laat zich in haar werk
beïnvloeden door zowel oude als hedendaagse muziek; Westerse
compositietechnieken en de traditionele klanken uit Griekenland en het
Midden-Oosten. Haar muziek kenmerkt zich door haar melodische karakter, warm
geluid en emotionele kwaliteit.

Art Without Soul? Embodiment and Historical Performance
Modern performance critics often scorn nineteenth-century actors and musicians,
assuming that because they placed emphasis on exaggerated shapes and gestures
they were merely showboating — engaging in empty posturing — rather than
performing from the soul. Treatises of the period, however, suggest that this
visual and sonic hyper-physicality was the means by which these performers
generated, channeled, and communicated emotion; that they understood their art
as originating not from the soul but from the body. Engaging with these
practices today, therefore, is a necessarily embodied rather than abstract,
intellectual endeavor; one that handles the performing body (both past and
present) as a rich, creative resource rather than a soulless distraction.
