het vouwen van stemmen - Peeled Collective

For VIERxVIER, Peeled Collective created het vouwen van stemmen (eng. translation: the folding of voices), a personal dance theater performance that explores the theme of transgenerational trauma, through poetry written by Emma Hanekroot and visual art inspired by her text, created by Emma Versluys. With these elements and in collaboration with composer Merit Vessies and performer Ischa Statie they created a dynamic and surreal dance duet. In this duet light, image. music and movement merge in an equal and unique way.

 

Residency - Makershuis Tilburg// DansBrabant
with Peeled Collective

During our Makers Trajectory we will focus on the question: How can we make visual art part of a performative work? We often use this medium to shape our imaginary world and find it scenographically interesting to think about how we could involve such a static object in something like a movement performance.

For this research, drawings, illustrations and paintings were created by Emma Versluys. Each day, there was a compilation made of the research that we did, which you can see by clicking on each day.

5 until 18th of February 2024

The following creations were made as part of the research.

Collection of Blue Drawings

Collection of Blue Drawings is an on-growing collection.

The drawings depict flowers and plants. The detailed way of drawing is a direct representation of the time, precision, dedication and focus,  it takes to grow.

Each of these drawings is made with Blue ballpoint pen on paper (A5).

Made between 2022 and now.
