Take the stage
This edition is all about Speak Up & Listen, and that’s what we’re doing here too. In this intimate listening session, everyone gets the chance to claim three minutes.
Play a song that moves you, read a poem that touches you, share your own text or an excerpt from someone else’s work.
Briefly explain why you want to share this – because it moves you, inspires you, angers you, or simply because it’s exactly what you need right now.
It doesn’t have to be big or perfect. It’s about you making your voice heard, and us really listening together.
Three minutes. Your choice. Our attention.
Intermezzo – Ongehoord
A dance duet about feeling heard or unheard, and the silence that exists in between. How do you find your voice, and how do you truly listen to someone else’s?
Sanne Benjamins and Mickie Xie show how voices can merge or clash. Through dance improvisation and partnering, they take you on their quest for balance between speaking and listening, between taking space and giving space.
