DANSGROEP AMSTERDAM
RAAK
Once again, Dansgroep Amsterdam proves that boldness and high-quality dance can go hand in hand. A colourful triptych with a broad variety of styles and themes. (Leeuwarder Courant, 16 April 2010)
The dancers of Dansgroep Amsterdam move as though they have a single spirit. (Zwolse Courant, 25 March 2010).
Waltz – Krisztina de Châtel
De Châtel makes the danger of collective passivity deeply palpable.
It’s brilliant: to let the atmosphere and image of a piece of music collide so strongly with the choreography. (de Volkskrant, 22 March 2010).
De Châtel puts elegant waltz tunes on a collision course with her formalistic dance, causing a bang that provides the energy for an explicitly anti-war ballet. (Trouw, 24 March 2010)
A surprise that touches you inside. (Noord- Hollands Dagblad, 22 March 2010)
De Châtel once again amazes audiences with a topical and critical dance piece. (Leeuwarder Courant, 16 April 2010)
Innovative, impressive and moving. From the costumes to the music and the make-up: everything is just right. (CJP, 1 April 2010)
Or – Itzik Galili
Using percussion group Percossa and striking light boxes, Galili lets the dancers excel in a flowing yet powerful stream of movement. Well made. (de Volkskrant, 22 March 2010)
Sophisticated dance, to be admired in its archetype to the sounds of bare percussion. (Friesch Dagblad, 16 April 2010)
A fine and ingenious interweaving of music, light and dynamism.
(Trouw, 24 March 2010)
Intense kinetic language with plenty of spectacular lifts.
(Noord-Hollands Dagblad, 22 March 2010)
At times the dancers even seem to merge together for an instant, or everything converges effortlessly in an organic chaos. (Parool, 22 March 2010)
Or reveals the true beauty of the dancers. To music by Percossa, we see a series of movements, flawless and perfect, like a lucid dream.
(Zwolse Courant, 25 March 2010)
The stage setting is very surprising, with a box of light that dances across the stage and causes constantly changing light beams in which all sorts of group combinations and duets take place. An ode to the human body. (Leeuwarder Courant, 16 April 2010)
Bittersweet – Liat Waysbort
An intriguing ode to Elvis Presley. Sensitive, beautifully casual solos that turn into tough Elvis poses and end in the total estrangement of a group of exasperatedly jumping dancers. (de Volkskrant, 22 March 2010)
Waysbort plays with the iconography surrounding idols like Elvis
Presley: their urge to pose and the collapse that follows. (Trouw, 24 March 2010)
A strong finale in which the dancers stir themselves up to a maddening ritual of endlessly slapping their chest and knees. (Leeuwarder Courant, 16 April 2010)
Cleverly done. (Zwolse Courant, 25 March 2010)
Itzik Galili zeigt in 'OR' seine alte Lust an der Geometrie, den klaren Schritten, die gekrümmte Linie, den fahrenden Lichtwürfel.
Christiana de Châtel zeigt mit 'WALTZ' ein Meisterwerk in Schwarzweiß.
