The 40 minutes on
the 2nd day: a lecture-demonstration titled ''Dance, a lifelong affair'',
the piece and the process'.
'Dance, a lifelong
affair' is a dance piece for 7 dancers aged 10, 11, 12, 68, 72, 78 made
by Els van Buren-Walvis.
Abstract of the piece:
Two duets, a trio,
a quartet and a dance with the whole group show the life span of a passion
for dance.
A senior man, very
skilled in Rumanian folk dance with boys following in his footsteps.
A senior woman and
a girl mirrorring each other or themselves?
A senior man remembering
movements from his childhood, the children performing them.
And finally everybody
swinging.
After a show on DVD
of the piece Els will talk about the process.
The talking will
be accompanied by DVD images.
