STEP IN THE LIGHT Step in the Light is a joint end performance of
Expanded Contemporary Dance and the Modern Theatre Dance in which
three generations of dancers will shine. It consists of a matinee
of first year ECD students presenting their own collaborative
projects and an evening triple bill of ECD2 and MTD3. Artistic
directors Bojana Bauer and Angela Linssen invited three renowned
choreographers to work with the students for a period of 6 weeks.
The result of this process are three pieces in one evening ranging
from repertoire to improvised work.
New study programme Expanded Contemporary Dance started in 2019.
Current Modern Theatre Dance and Urban Contemporary students will
complete their education in the next year within the existing
curriculum. During the transition phase many collaborations between
the three programs are taking place. This end-year performance of
ECD and MTD is one of them.
MODERN THEATRE DANCE The Modern Theatre Dance course is a four year
bachelor of arts degree course in which students are supported to
become people with passion for dance; with a deep understanding of
how and what to do; who are fully present and who dare to
communicate through their complete physical spectrum with focus,
courage and persistence; who stand infused with the energy of their
breath and
breadth; who willingly and consciously steer their bodies; who dare
to ask and who can ask; who add, through their personalities,
presence, knowledge and skills; who are proactive, creative and
concrete.
Dancers who modulate their bodies from inside out and with clear
direction; who can regulate their energy and deal with tension
effectively by applying lightness and in the ease with which they
move through movement sequences; who with a continuity of breath
give fullness and color to kinetic phrases.
You will see the last cohort of MTD dancing. Next season these
young and strong dance artists will go into the professional field
as interns and finalize their studies in June 2022.
EXPANDED CONTEMPORARY DANCE Expanded Contemporary Dance is a full
time Bachelor education in dance. It is an innovative, varied and
dynamic program which prepares dancers for a life- long career in
dance. Together with teachers and guest artists, students explore
the future of dance and question what is ‘contemporary’. ECD
dancers come from diverse backgrounds of street and club culture,
formal academic training, traditional, social or competitive
practice. Throughout the education they develop their physical and
mental imagination, awareness and precision. They are supported on
their path to become high-level dancers and co-creating performers
with distinct personal signature and a daring artistic voice.

Addio alla Fine is a search for a physical and mental zero-point
that ends in exhaustion, but also paves the way for new
experiences. The end becomes a new beginning. A peerless
choreography by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten, which premiered
as a location project on June 16, 2012 in the Holland Festival and
later also premiered as a theater version on October 6, 2013 during
the Nederlandse Dansdagen.
The starting point for this performance was the film E la Nave Va
(1983) by Italian director Federico Fellini. In his film, the crème
de la crème of the art world undertakes a boat trip to bid an
appropriate farewell to the greatest opera singer of all time. Also
in Addio alla Fine, the audience boards its own imaginary Noah's
Ark and is confronted with an accumulation of sounds and
choreography.
Addio Alle Fine constituted a closing piece and the opening of a
new era for Greco and Scholten. How do we give direction to
breaking through the great unease? How do we organize an unlimited
world? How do we make people take responsibility for others again?
Howe can we make the short fuse grow longer again? Both makers
believe that the role of art us to provide a first step in this
direction. Not to take us back to a community of the sixties, but
to activate a sense of common sense.
Dereck Cayla Dereck Cayla is a French/Irish dancer and
choreographer based in Amsterdam. He graduated in 2008 from the
Conservatoire National de Musique et de Danse de Paris. In 2009 he
joined ICKamsterdam ensemble under the artistic direction of Pieter
C. Scholten and Emio Greco. His work as a dancer at the
International Choreographic Kunst Centrum gave him the chance to
work for interesting artists like: Emio Greco / P C Scholten,
Nicole Beutler, Andrea Boi, Robyn Orlin… Dereck is now developing
his own research as a choreographer, lately he was interested in
using physical limitation to further develop movement based
choreography and inspired by the myth of the Mermaid. Resulting
into a short film ‘Sirènes’ created together with film director
Pierre Bessette and a dance piece ‘ Mermaids’ which was supported
by Ickamsterdam and premiered at Julidans on July 2019. Dereck can
be seen on stage in ‘Mermaids’, together with ICK-dancer Victor
Callens. Since 2017 Dereck is teaching Double Skin/ Double Mind
methodology and transmitting repertoire from choreographer Emio
Greco and P C. Scholten at AHK.

The Circle Effect by choreographers Andrea Leine and Harijono
Roebana premiered on January 19, 1995.
Andrea Leine and Harijono Roebana made a special version of this
half-hour performance for 14 students of Expanded Contempory Dance.
Ederson Rodriques Xavier, dancer in the performance together with
Leine and Roebana at the time, was closely involved in the process
with the students. The students have worked with the ideas behind
the performance and mastered the specific movement language.
Leine: 'At that time we were investigating asymmetric structures.
We worked with curved lines and movement that could start anywhere
in your body: your knee, your crown, and with a force as if your
limbs are being pulled from the outside. 'Physical schizophrenia',
we called it. Torsos made a kind of rudder movement, with a
straight spine. As precise as ballet, but it looked more plastic.'
Mirjam van de Linden De Volkskrant 2016.
LeineRoebana LeineRoebana conquered a unique place in the Dutch and
international dance world with her unique, idiosyncratic dance
language and working method. For them, dance is increasingly
becoming a meeting place with people from different backgrounds,
cultures and disciplines. In their successful productions
GhostTrack and LIGHT, for example, they linked contemporary dance
with gamelan music from Indonesia.
With their unparalleled physical mastery, the LeineRoebana dancers
know how to touch the audience right in the heart. No matter how
strange or complex the coordination of movements may be in the
layered performances of dance, music, text and design.
For Andrea Leine and Harijono Roebana, dance is a physical form of
thinking; a way to relate to the world around you. Music has an
equal place in the work of choreographers. There is always
something to be conquered in the combination of dance and music.
Both the audible and the visible of dancers and musicians are part
of a cross-disciplinary choreography. Together they form a whole.
One breath. A change in the dance has consequences for the music
and vice versa. A musical thought continues in motion. The
musicians move, sing and speak. A dance theme becomes music.
Musicians move, sing, speak; the dancers and singers unite those
two disciplines contrapuntally and unemphatically in their
bodies.

In the exchange is a choreographic meditation on group dynamics,
social discourse and the democratic process. What are the various
paths created, followed, and rejected when an individual moves into
and out of a group?
