Express Lab²

Information | For the second edition of Express Lab, dancers, musicians and psychologists gather for three intensive days of collaboration, innovation and creation, culminating in two brand new performances, presented at Toneelgarage Rotterdam & Batavierhuis.

During three days of Express Lab two groups of 2 dancers, a musician and a psychologist meet to create a brand-new performance. Having not worked in this constellation before, the participants will be given a theme on the first day of the process. Besides being challenged by the time pressure, the participants are given no creative limits in collaborating and inventing two short performances. The collaboration will culminate in 2 days of performances at Toneelgarage Rotterdam & Batavierhuis in Delfshaven. Here, there will be a short introduction of the given theme, followed by a showing of the two original creations. After the performance the audience is invited to an after-drink and participatory after-talk and discussion at Toneelgarage Rotterdam.
