Sounding Here: Muziek, Dans en Poëzie

Splendor x Batavierhuis (Rotterdam) - Art that LIVES and grows in a festival-in-an-evening atmosphere!


Sounding Here is a series which invites artists to present new collaborations, compositions, or directions started in 2022 in Rotterdam by Batavierhuis member, composer/performer/producer Christine Cornwell. Experiments are a tradition for Sounding Here.
Luke Deane (Splendor) and Christine present three acts with music, dance and poetry:

Open Union (UK)
Patrick Ellis - electric guitar
Peter Bell - modular synthesiser
Performing for the first time in The Netherlands, Open Union will present a varied set packed full of flexible and open-ended works that have been specifically written for the duo over the past year and a half. Each piece has been composed in close collaboration with Open Union, and either follow a process, narrative or sound palette that allows variation for each performance. The duo will present a series of works recently commissioned.

Fire on your path (2023, new work)
Emily Gabrielle Aidulis (LT) movement, voice
Machteld Teekens (NL) poetry, voice
In the Veda, butter or ghee plays a central role in creation. Precious food like ghee plays a central role in myth and ancient religion. In a dance and speech performance, we aim to explore the origins of circularity. Where circularity ends, there begins the notion of time and breath. Earth is than opposite to heaven, and night contrasts day. Machteld Teekens (1959) is writer and visual artist. She is always exploring old texts and images to understand and enrich the new, This project is based on the poem 'creation according to Veda' written in 2015, after following a course in Ayurvedic health treatments. This is a new work initiated by Sounding Here.
