Moving Futures Festival will be in theatres from April 5 2024: traveling festival with the newest generation of dance makers in seven cities.
From April 5 to May 26, 2024, Moving Futures Festival will travel with a brand new program to six cities in the Netherlands. From November 12 to 14 2024 the tour will come to and end with a final bang; a three-day event at Grand Theatre, Groningen. In Moving Futures Festival, you will experience dance from the newest generation of makers and performers in all its forms. Moving Futures Festival starts at De Nieuwe Vorst in Tilburg and then travels to Utrecht, Arnhem, Rotterdam, Nijmegen, and Amsterdam.
Moving Futures is the festival where you experience dance from the newest generation of makers in all its forms. The festival annually offers innovative dance in a diverse program throughout the country. Let yourself be surprised by the engaged, daring, and barrier-breaking dance makers and performers of today.
Seven Performances Moving Futures presents seven emerging dance makers. Jefta Tanate creates “Domeless,” a performance about the impact of losing your (home) and finding your new place in the world. “Brothers” by Justin de Jager is a duet on the theme of brotherhood. Ashley Ho & Domenik Naue invite you to connect through your own childhood memories in “Songs for Friends: A Vinyl,” a personal performance about growing up. Trevoga creates “11 3 8 7,” inspired by the extravagant fantasies we fabricate online and the increasingly hostile reality around us. In “Crisis of Comfort” by Gaja Caruso, we follow the sleep cycles and (sub)consciousness of two sleeping dancers. Anthony van Gog shows in “Crowdkill” the effect of the bass tones from four mega subwoofers on the body. In “Conundrum” by Yoko Haveman, a being gets entangled with a three-meter-long metal chain as a metaphor for idealism.
Makers
We are very proud of the maker duo Ashley Ho & Domenik Naue who are joining the Moving Futures festival tour this year with their performance “Songs for Friends: A Vinyl.” This performance is developed from the movements of skipping ropes, a long afternoon of memories, and a joint reading of Hermann Hesse’s “Kinderseele” and “Demian” (two novels that explore the experiences of a child with guilt and shame, of light and shadow).
Check out Ashley & Domenik’s performance on the following dates and venues:
Sat, April 6 | Tilburg, De Nieuwe Vorst
Sat, April 13 | Utrecht, Theater Kikker
Sat, April 20 | Arnhem, Theater a/d Rijn
Sun, May 26 | Amsterdam, Theater Bellevue
