Nederland / Korea. Dans en muziek improvisatie
Wonderful Korean dansers encounter the Amsterdam improvising sceneThe 2024 Netherlands-Korea International Collaborative Improvisation Performance marks the second international collaboration following the 2022 event in Korea, which featured Dutch improvisational dancers and musicians. In 2022, Dutch improvisational dancers and musicians collaborated during the 22nd Seoul International Improvisation Dance Festival (Simpro) and the 7th Jeju International Improvisation Dance Festival (Jimpro), both organized by the International Performing Arts Project (IPAP). This collaboration also involved the Korean National Contemporary Dance Company and the Dutch group Collectief Imprography as partner organizations.
For the 2024 performance, four Korean improvisational dancers from the 2022 event will once again join Dutch improvisational dancers and musicians. This cross-cultural dialogue transcends traditional boundaries, embracing a rich diversity of voices while seamlessly blending and challenging artistic contrasts. Join us on this evolving journey as we celebrate the present of improvisational arts in both countries and explore new possibilities for future artistic exchanges.
