UBIK Performance Night w/ TRIAL SESSIONS by Nina Iggy, Mylan Hoezen & Nina Wijnmaalen

Under the name "TRIAL SESSIONS", performance artists Nina Iggy, Mylan Hoezen & Nina Wijnmaalen bring to Rotterdam a 1-day-performance-academy, based on their somatic movement practices. Everyone is welcome to join!

WORKSHOP I: Mylan Covers: 'Plates'

In this workshop, we will create movement scores inspired by images from our dreams. By telling these stories through five distinct body postures, we will explore balance and focus while standing on a variety of plates. These postures, supported by the plates, will challenge our equilibrium and invite us to access movements we don't typically engage with. The core of the workshop is to cultivate balance and concentration, serving as preparation for long durational performances.

Duration of the workshop: 1.5 hours

WORKSHOP II: Nina Wijnmaalen : Experimenting with Instructions

During this short workshop I want the participants to investigate how they can use different resources such as objects, text, sound and their surroundings to gather performative material. We will do simple and playful exercises to connect and experiment together.

You are invited to bring an object to this workshop (poem, instrument, costume, book, plant, etc.)

Duration of the workshop: 1.5 hours

PERFORMANCE: Nina Iggy : DIG A (W)HOLE WHILE YOU WAIT

A poetic journey of the in between through the cycle of life, death and reincarnation. Through an immersive experience of sound, movement and scenography the audience is invited to go on a journey from one body to another. In the world between death and rebirth, a place where the boundaries between reality and the unknown blur.

How do we let go of life? What do we remember at the moment we let go? What happens in the in-between world?

Team: Jos Jacob - scenography, Movement assistant - Olympia Kotopoulos, Light - Janine de weerd, Sound design - Philipp Cahrpit, Creative producer - Jaukje van Wonderen

Duration of the performance: 30 minutes
