Anouk Kruithof - Universal Tongue

02december 2022
Lijnbaansgracht 238, 1017 PH Amsterdam, Pays-Bas

Description

Award-winning artist Anouk Kruithof presents the compelling and uplifting video installation 'Universal Tongue' at Melkweg Expo. Dance, the moving body, unites us, more than anything else in our diverse and complex world, in recognition of our shared vulnerability and our common human condition. It also points us to the possibility of a more inclusive world with limitless exchange and understanding of new identities, a world where just everyone is a dancer.'

Non-stop connection

The dance conclave 'Universal Tongue' leads us through the jungle of the internet. The work explores how dance has evolved throughout history as part of our global media culture, and how it manifests itself online today.

The rousing installation is based on 32 hours of video with thousands of different dance styles, collected from YouTube and Instagram, and selected by a team of 50 researchers from around the world.

The continuous course of moving image erases typical categories of the world order, such as country, continent or culture. Instead, it looks at our era of fluidity, hybridity and non-stop connectedness, while respecting the value of our historical backgrounds, cultural differences and individuality.

Amsterdam|Divers
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

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.

Vitale emoties en ordening, dans en muziek ontmoeten elkaar in een 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. For all our internationals, expats and Anglophiles: our No Dutch Required page.

In the Making #6: Anna Scott, Jed Wentz, Laila Neumann, Emma Williams 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. - 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.
