The journey of ‘Met de stroming mee’ has really been a special adventure so far 🌊 27-30 December 📍Noordeinde @karavaan_exeptionel Choreography: @alexandra.loembe Dancers: @ayse_nur.s @piisco__ @marilou_fortune Production: @karavaan_exeptionel @alexandra.loembe Music composition: @robbidoesart Advise: Anemone Oostvriesland, Laura Simonse Supported by: Janivo Stichting @afk020 @voordekunst @karavaan_exeptionel Special thanks to: @ecoledessables @podiummozaiek @creaamsterdam @stichtingdevrolijkheid @coa_nederland

We’re currently working on the creation of ‘Met de stroming mee’ and this week we’re rehearsing in the studios of @creaamsterdam thanks to the support of @afk020 🌊 Along personal stories and changing landscapes, where memories are given a place to exist. Three dancers take you on a journey, connected by one strong yet vulnerable current. ‘Met de stroming mee’ invites us to dive deeper into the source of life that connects us all. Water as weight, as threat, as necessity, as a boundary, and as a mirror of our relationship with the climate and each other. Will the dancers reach their destination, or will the journey end where it began, on the edge of a new beginning? From December 27 until 30 @karavaan_exeptionel 📍Noordeinde Choreography: @alexandra.loembe Dancers: @ayse_nur.s @piisco__ @marilou_fortune Production: @karavaan_exeptionel @alexandra.loembe Music composition: @robbidoesart Advise: Anemone Oostvriesland, Laura Simonse Supported by: Janivo Stichting @afk020 @voordekunst @karavaan_exeptionel Special thanks to: @ecoledessables @podiummozaiek @creaamsterdam @stichtingdevrolijkheid @coa_nederland

“In an intimate setting, between the whispers of past and present, dancer Alexandra Loembé explores the power of imagination and collective creativity. “The seeds that surface” is an interdisciplinary solo performance and metamorphic journey in which childhood memories unfold a boundless landscape, that reveals the complexity and fluidity of cultural identity and the graduate takeover by humans at the expense of the natural world. It portrays the cyclical nature of existence and the potential to illuminate different sides of yourself from the dark.” Maker & performer: @alexandra.loembe Advise: @kalkerbabette Composition: @robbidoesart Technical support: @grootneal Special thanks to: @platformnexus @ecoledessables @cultuurfonds This project is supported by Janivo Stichting

First moves of the dayyyyyy breathing feeling taking space stretching balancing continuously going and going

A solo about people being like trees, about the two types of forest where my roots dig deep, about a profound childhood memory, about waking up and continuously embodying different versions of yourself, about me, about us, about The Seeds that Surface ❤️ Thank you to everyone present and involved for making it a successful try-out 🤲🏽 SOON MORE ✨ Maker & performer: @alexandra.loembe Advise: @kalkerbabette Composition: @robbidoesart Special thanks to: @platformnexus @ecoledessables @cultuurfonds This project is supported by Janivo Stichting

Taking a moment to look back at the birth of ‘Lumpempa’ 🍂 An ode to our ever changing identities. Constantly moving as one, whilst following and leaving our traces. Our differences carried as our richness. This autumn and winter we will be moving deeper into the creation process, we’ll dig, collect, carry, peel and reveal our stories. 🍂 Choreography @alexandra.loembe Dancers @sienaverber @stephanie.slmn @amaliayuno Light @nuncium All photo’s were taken by @sjoerdderine during the research presentation at @podiummozaiek RRReuring Zomerlab 2023 @urbanresort_devlugt #dance #contemporarydance #research #playfulness #performance #newcreation #process #danse #lumpempa #residency #theatre

Friday mornings w @docentdans 🥁 A warm soup of movement and sound 🦋 Every time I can teach with live music is a gift 🦋

PIA’S FIRST TOUCH/PIA GOES IN CIRCLES touched the stage one year ago 🌀 How many circles would they have made by now? Exactly one? Or a whole lot more?? This process still has my heart and is definitely still alive ✨ Just like the piece itself, the ending is just the beginning! A piece about curiosity, vulnerability, sensitivity and an early state of being. She suggests a first touch, the beginning of the day, the feeling of endless possibilities, the rising and setting of the sun and a life course from the first meeting. The performance stimulates the viewer on a physical level, without a real skin-to-skin touch. Dancers: Kiki Schreuders, Naomi Collier Broms, Marcella Faltas, Ichmarah Kock, Irene Zanelato and Jaklin Karnalova Choreography by me #piatouchpiacircles #creativeembodiment #dance #contemporarydance #research #creation #playfulness #performance
