Featuring:

That Time Of The Month - The Sleepover

That Time of the Month is a close group of non-blood sisters with a tight bond both on and off stage. Their improvised shows stem from our daily life struggles, political views, stupid ideas, sorrows and joys. The group stands out with its high-energy stage presence, with a pinch of wit and a drop of sass. It's the group of friends you wish to (and can) be part of.

“The sleepover”, is a living room-style improvised show where the audience gets an exclusive glimpse behind the close doors of slumber parties. An open-hearted conversation on the central piece, our sofa couch, opens onto into scenes, games or songs.

Met Haar Zonder Hem

Met Haar Zonder Hem (With her/hair without him) is one of the few female improv groups in the Netherlands. They are on a mission to explore femininity both in the stories and characters as in our style of playing as a group. Their performance is often described as an harmonious, symbiotic collaboration. Their scenes are often a game of balance and dis-balance between characters, alternating between uncomfortable emotions and perfect connection between people.

Seven with Wine

Even if their bosses suck, their nipples crack, their girlfriends run off or their coworkers catch them in a pyramid scheme these 4 women will stick by each other through it all.

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.
