Masterclass FIELD
Makers Jelle Haen and Jessica Matheson (Orkater/ De Nieuwkomers, started 2023) will tell more about their makership during this Masterclass.
Jelle and Jessica met while studying at the School for New Dance Development. Before that, Jelle took the vocal preliminary course at the conservatory and Jessica completed the dance course Transit Dance in Melbourne. Their shared interest in (self)transformation, both in outer changes and inner experiences, brought them together. As alter-egos Kylie&Ebony, they have been creating performances since 2017. In their first Newcomer production, they explore the difficulty of a symbiosis between two people in a culture that advocates individuality, using transformations in movement, music and characters as a starting point. To do this, they draw on their working experiences outside the theater: Jelle as a professional model, graduate makeup artist and drag and Jessica as a professional dancer and cutter.
Jelle and Jessica are now working on their debut performance Why this strange love which starts in 2024. This performance can also be seen during Young Hearts!
