Makers Sessions X Tilburg in Motion

Makers Sessions are evenings organised by Makershuis Tilburg on which makers present their latest work and research to the public, without it having to be finished yet. On one evening, several short performances are shown or part of their process is shared.
On 2 May, the Makers Sessions spring edition will take place in house at DansBrabant. This year for the first time, it will be done in collaboration with dance festival Tilburg in Motion.

The programme of these Makers Sessions:

Helena Araújo - When Drama Knocks the Door
In this solo version of When Drama Knocks the Door Helena Araújo explores the boundary between mourning and humour. To do so, she interweaves the style of cabaret with her own work. The result is an undisguised explosion of emotions in all their chaotic, theatrical glory. From an imaginary emotional crisis centre, she swings When Drama Knocks the Door back and forth between heartbreak and hilarity, embracing the absurdity of sadness, joy and everything in between.

Jana Jacuka - HA
At HA Jana Jacuka explores how the voice becomes an extension of the body. She grunts, shouts and speaks on inhalation. Like a ventriloquist, she disconnects her body from her voice and lets her body become the main means of communication. Jana stands alone in the room. It is she, you and suddenly HA.

Kajoinboi - Tweakology #2
In two different sessions, Levi van der Ceelen aka Kajoinboi collaborates with Tilburg-based musician Patrick Sluis on a live experiment. With no set goal and all expectations abandoned, they reveal the unknown through relentless tweaking of movement and sound. What remains is the space, the instruments, the performers and the audience.

Institute of Associations - Zwiespalt
This dance film by choreographer/dancer Tegest Pecht-Guido and composer/videomaker Merijn Bisschops is about feeling opposing emotions simultaneously. Ecstasy and sadness, loneliness and connection, shame and recognition: how are these ambiguous feelings expressed in our bodies and in music? Zwiespalt is intimate, personal and raw and leaves the viewer in constant suspense looking for the expressions of a subcutaneous emotional struggle.

S K Y P U N C H C O L L E C T I V E - SomeBodies - work in progress
A patchwork of borrowed hands and fingers and your face above the body of another. As you suddenly discover a stranger's eye under your own brow, the line between 'you' and 'me' blurs. SomeBodies is an interactive total experience in which Anna Zurkirchen and Celine Werkhoven question and blur the boundaries of the physical body. Within the four walls of a mobile installation, they create an intimate, surreal meeting space in which themes of identity, proximity and perception are made tangible. Can the space between 'the self' and 'the other' be bridged or perhaps even lifted altogether for a moment?
SomeBodies can also be visited during the day during Tilburg in Motion at the LocHal
