Origin - Scapino Ballet | RIDCC | Cinedans

Dans & ballet

No Dutch Required

After winning the world's largest dance price - the RIDCC XL Production Award - Sarah Baltzinger & Isaiah Wilson and Olivia Court Mesa now make two world premieres at Scapino. Both dance pieces can be seen in one program with two connecting dance films that have been curated by Cinedans Film Festival around the same theme.

Sarah Baltzinger & Isaiah Wilson have been making a name for several years with high -profile and socially committed documents. Their new choreography Goats is a imaginative satire in today's time. With powerful images, humorous dance language and absurdism, they comment on existing social systems and power structures. In a playful way they challenge the audience to view the world with new eyes.

In the breakable US, the Chilean-Israeli Olivia Court Mesa Athletic physical power with conceptual depth combines. Court Mesa investigates the idea that trauma is an inseparable part of our being human, from which we heal and become a new version of ourselves. Trauma as a source for growth.

Their origin in the Netherlands at Scapino
For Scapin's talent development program Origin, artistic director Nanine Linning invites promising talent. Under her artistic direction, they make a program for the first program for the first time that is presented throughout the Netherlands.
