The two days will focus on movement, presence and energy.
Participants will acquire more skills and technical tools on partnering and floorwork. Concepts explored will include: all or nothing, trust, speed, instinct, fragility, gentleness and tension...
all elements that characterize the work of Jens Van Daele, and which are the starting point for the study of choreography.
During the workshop, the participants will be introduced to the powerful language of the choreographer, beginning with the recent production, "Brides for Peace", which will make its national debut at the Interplay/11 Festival.

Good preparation in contemporary dance is required.
Knee pads and tennis shoes with white soles are necessary.

Jens Van Daele
He studied at the Stedelijk Instituut voor ballet in Antwerp, Belgium. He has worked as a dancer for Conny Jansees, the Takeuchi Company and Rogie &Company, with which he won the Zwaan prize in 2005 as best dancer in Spring.
Since 1999, he has been the resident choreographer of General Oost in Arnhem, with which he has presented his choreography in major cities and festivals throughout the Netherlands. At the same time, in these years he created three works for the Oerol Festival in Terschelling; La Flétrissure (2006) for 2 Move DC and Concrete/Heartbeat (2002) for Conny Janssen Danst.
Since 2008, after an 18-year career, he has devoted himself exclusively to choreography and initiated the collaboration with composer Greg Smith for the accompaniment of his original works. He was selected for the International Dance Roads 2010 project, with which he made a stop in Turin last year for Interplay/10, and was highly praised by the audience and critics.
