the pleasure of stepping off a horse when it’s moving at full speed by Courtney May Robertson 
As a starting point for this short solo, Courtney May Robertson takes a metaphor for self-control; a rider taming a wild horse. She looks at the struggle between embracing one’s true desires, and regulating behaviour in accordance with societal pressures. Visual projections encapsulate Courtney within an octagon spanning 3.5m in diameter. Through a combination of poetry, dance, and song, she travels across landscapes of personal desires, memories, and conflicts. The space acts like a time capsule; intimate home videos are spliced with samples from YouTube, documentaries and old films. the pleasure of stepping off a horse when it’s moving at full speed is Courtney’s attempt to embrace the, sometimes messy, contradictions that make up a multifaceted human. Scottish Courtney May Robertson (1992) is based in Rotterdam as a performer an interdisciplinary producer working all over Europe. Rotterdambasert utøver og tverrfaglig produsent som jobber over hele Europa. She graduated from The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts - First Class Honours in Contemporary Dance Performance. For her role in Jan Martens´s performance Rule of Threepresented at Dansens Hus in 2017, she was named “Female Performer of the Year 2017” by Sceneweb (FR), and in 2018 ‘The first heroine of La Bâtie’ festival in Geneva (CH). Warping Soul by Andreas Hannes In Warping Soul the dancers emerge within a space that is constantly in transit. In the mercy of external forces, they move within movement. Through the disorientation and reorganization of bodies and space, movement becomes a dance of potential transformations and narratives. “To warp” is to bend or turn from the direction or course. In Star Trek, for example, star ships enter warp to travel. This performance was inspired by the practice of continuous skipping and focusses on road trips and transiting landscapes. Warping Soul was commisioned by Conny Janssen Danst and Dansateliers, as part of Danslokaal 8. Andreas Hannes (1987, Greece) is an eclectic maker who explores gravity and aerodynamic forces. He uses rhythm and vibration as a source for informing and revealing the body within environments. Growing up in a musical environment, Andreas danced extensively in the living room. After completing his studies in classical percussion at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki (Greece), he moved to the Netherlands to follow his passion for film. He worked as an independent director and producer of short films and he co-founded Small House Productions, a platform for international and interdisciplinary projects (2011-2015). In 2018, Andreas graduated from SNDO (School for New Dance Development. Currently, Andreas is artist in residence at ICK Dans Amsterdam, where he created Reverberated Emissions (2021) with the ensemble of the company. He also collaborates with Cinedans FEST in Amsterdam as artistic programmer and producer. For the next years, he partners up with Julidans Festival for developing his practice and producing and presenting new work.

Warping Soul is alienating and of an otherworldly beauty.
