Time & Time Again

By Alesya Dobysh

At Time & Time Again onderzoekt choreograaf/performer Alesya Dobysh hoe dans kan klinken en hoe geluid kan bewegen. In dit bijzondere choreografische concert ontmoeten dans en livemuziek elkaar in een spel van energie, ritme en ruimte.

The dancers' movements are amplified live, distorted and transformed into new sounds. This creates an ever-changing soundscape on which the dancers build in turn. The result is an ongoing conversation between body, sound and the acoustics of the space - an experience that is different every time.

Together with electronic music composer Max Frimout and House dancers Marina Pravkina and Noëlle Vosman, Alesya explores the interplay between dance, sound and architecture. Their performance balances between tight choreography and the freedom of improvisation, taking the audience into the intensity of the moment.

Alesya Dobysh (Kostroma, 1989) has been associated with DansBrabant (PLANmaker) since 2024. Over the next three years, she will work on the development of her experimental project Motus Sonus. She also creates new work with Simon Bus as a maker duo; such as AWOL. Alesya comes from the (Russian) street and club scene, where she developed a love for house dance - a club style emphasising the combination of articulated footwork and heavy flow. She won awards at international battle events such as Juste Debout (Paris), Random Circles (Frankfurt) and Summer Dance Forever (Amsterdam).

Time & Time Again is part of Dobysh's ongoing research Motus Sonus, in which she continues to explore the interface between movement, sound and architecture.
