Artistic SRoccovermijs (overleg) 16 mei 2014 20:29 (CEST)tatement In my work I want to communicate things that matter The human being I found a increidibly intersting sbuject. My work is characterized by the visualization of the imperfection of man. It is precisely the inability and the authenticity of a person that fascinate me. A strong element is the performers very personal movement language based on a state of being. The performers are vulnerable, pure and honest. He sees dance as a medium and as the purpose on itself. Other disciplines are used when they will support or express it in a better way than dance.
