WhyNot

Four evenings of contemporary dance, performance, music and art at four special inner-city locations, with Jennifer Tee, De PolyBand a.o.

Bimhuis / Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ / Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam / W139

Sinds 2009 organiseert WhyNot een tweejaarlijks festival om de dans scene open te breken en hedendaagse dans- en performancekunst op een andere manier te presenteren. Interdisciplinair, veelal buiten het theater en altijd met beweging als uitgangspunt. Van 22 t/m 25 januari staat de zevende festivaleditie in het teken van het lichaam en architectuur, van beweging en begrenzing. Hoe kijken performancekunstenaars en choreografen anno nu naar de rol van het lichaam in relatie tot het innemen, geven of definiëren van ruimte? Wat betekenen grenzen, fysiek en cultureel, voor onze bewegingsvrijheid? Vier avonden met dans en performance, live muziek, installaties, films en workshops op vier bijzondere locaties in de stad: Wo 22 jan | Bimhuis met o.a. De PolyBand, Amos Ben-Tal &amp; Gosse de KortDo 23 jan| Muziekgebouw aan't IJ met o.a. Marc Vanrunxt &amp; Slagwerk Den HaagVr 24 jan | Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam met Jennifer TeeZa 25 jan | kunstruimte W139 i.s.m.

*ENGLISH*Since 2009, contemporary dance and performance platform WhyNot organizes events and creates works that open up the contemporary dance and performance scene and present these art forms in alternative ways. Interdisciplinary, outside of the black box, and always with movement as a starting point. From January 22 to 25, the seventh festival edition focusses on the body and architecture, on movement and boundaries. How do performance artists and choreographers nowadays look at the role of the body in relation to occupying, giving or defining space? What do boundaries, physical and cultural, mean for our freedom of movement? Join us for four evenings of dance and performance, live music, installations, films and workshops at four special inner-city locations: Wed 22 Jan | Bimhuis with De PolyBand, Amos Ben-Tal &amp; Gosse de Kort a.o.Thu 23 Jan| Muziekgebouw aan't IJ with Marc Vanrunxt &amp; Slagwerk Den Haag a.o.Fri 24 Jan | Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam with Jennifer TeeSat 25 Jan | art space W139 in collab with Julidans, De Brakke Grond, Veem House for PerformanceFor more information visit <a href="https://www.festivalwhynot.nl/festivalwhynot/festival/7/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">festivalwhynot.nl</a>
