Bekend om zijn eclectische stijl, brak hij door met het ontroerende werk "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet". Zijn rijke harmonieën en unieke benadering maken hem een invloedrijk figuur in de hedendaagse muziekwereld. Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet ontstond tijdens het maken van een documentaire over dakloosheid in het bruisende Londen. Het stuk bevat een loop van een naamloze dakloze man die een couplet zingt, teruggrijpend naar een gospelhymne. De opname, eigenlijk bedoeld voor de documentaire, onthult de krachtige vertolking van de zanger. Geïnspireerd door de emotionele lading van de dakloze man zijn zang, voegde Gavin Bryars rijke harmonieën van strijkers en koperblazers toe om een ontroerende compositie te maken. Zelf vertelt Bryars erover: "In 1971, toen ik in Londen woonde, werkte ik met een vriend, Alan Power, aan een film over het ruige leven in het gebied tussen Elephant and Castle en Waterloo Station. Tijdens het filmen begonnen sommige mensen dronken te zingen – soms stukken opera, soms sentimentele ballads – en eentje, die overigens helemaal niet dronk, zong een religieus lied "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet". Dit lied werd later niet in de film gebruikt en ik mocht alle ongebruikte delen meenemen, waaronder dit stuk. Toen ik dit thuis speelde, merkte ik dat zijn gezang mooi gelijk liep met mijn pianospel, en ik maakte er een simpele begeleiding voor. Ik merkte ook dat het eerste deel van het lied – 13 maten lang – een mooie 'loop' vormde die zich op een enigszins onvoorspelbare manier herhaalde." Dit concert wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door de Wilma de Wolff Foundation Omslagfoto 2 door: Vera Kok

I NEVER WANNA DANCE AGAIN  presents a collective journey of a fragmented yet reflective and humorous take on the inheritance of human imperfection. It tests the limits of expression through the act of singing along to the songs we can’t resist, and aims to unfold the paradoxical judicious balance between perfection and imperfection. The work is developed with a hybrid group of participants; trained performers and performers from the local community, creating a multi-perspectives performance on the theme.

About Eilit Marom Eilit Marom (1986, Haifa) is a choreographer and visual artist based in the Netherlands and Israel. Her performances bring performers and public in direct contact with their embodied natural knowledge, linking the bodily expression with universal experiences that speak of trust, liberation and sociability. She presented in venues such as Helmhaus Museum, Korzo Theater and Unfair Amsterdam. A recipient of the ‘Artist in Community’ grant from the Israeli Ministry of Culture and a member of Helicopter artists initiative in the Hague. In recent years she started collecting actions and interactions that offer a mindful moment of embodiment. She calls them Unforbidden Pleasures, they are simple tasks that evoke experiences of pleasure, focusing on engaging one with their senses, with other people and their environment. They become choreographic tasks in her performances and the public, her companion.
