INSTINCT - Conny Janssen Danst

Dans & ballet

How do we deal with the pace and expectations of modern society and the high demands we place on ourselves? Do we try to keep up with everything, do we flee or do we fight? Artistic director Conny Janssen invites choreographer Patricia van Deutekom. While Patricia van Deutekom has a preference for a powerful, unpolished but sensitive dance language, Conny Janssen focuses more on the individual qualities of her dancers, which she interweaves with her own dance language. The result? A compelling mix of movement, music and stories that takes you into the struggle, tension and adrenaline of everyday life.

The media about INSTINCT
“With a set design of pulling LED tubes and in elongated, movable frames, Instinct delivers a first blow that is worth a dollar. It is beautiful.” (Theatrekrant)
“The movements are emotional, sometimes eruptive, with many touches and almost touches, firm grounding and undulating torsos. Unison group passages alternate with duets and solos. Every now and then a breaking move cuts through the modern dance language. It's about emotion and personal friction.” (Trouw)
