Lesson: Contemporary by Celine Werkhoven

Alienated organises open classes for professional performers in Tilburg and the surrounding area. This class is organised in collaboration with DansBrabant.

Inspired by the multitude of physical and emotional conditions in daily life, this class will lead you through a physical path full of contrasting qualities and dynamics. Celine takes you through her study of transformation in the body, giving form to what moves within. The class combines improvisational tasks with set material rooted in contemporary dance and floorwork, creating space to approach movement from a sensory point of view as well as from a more technical one. Playfulness, imagination, opening the senses and rapid shifts in dynamics are key elements, as is the use of breath, rhythm and sometimes voice. Expect lots of shifting shapes and a joyful physical rollercoaster.

Celine Werkhoven (Leiden, 1990) is a dance performer and maker with a love for movement, sound and visual arts. She graduated from the Fontys College of Visual and Performing Arts as a dance artist (BA Modern Dance Theatre, 2012) and has since performed with a wide range of companies and choreographers, including Voetvolk/Lisbeth Gruwez (BE), Katja Heitmann (NL), De Nederlandse Nationale Opera and Oper Köln (DE). In recent years, she has increasingly focused on her own artistic language, both independently and within SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE, of which she is a co-founder. This results in performances that are not limited to one form or discipline and always appeal to more than one of the senses. Through poetic images and sounds, she shows her take on what it means to be human, often with a touch of wonder, humour and sensitivity. In addition to her work as a performer and choreographer, Celine is a singer and an experienced teacher of contemporary dance, improvisation, creation and multidisciplinary work.
