Open Your Mind | The Notorious IBE | Nederlandse Dansdagen

During a dazzling evening program you will see the very best of the urban arts. 

17.00 - 20.00
A hidden talent for urban dance such as hip-hop or popping? Or do you amaze everyone with your tuning skills? Then climb the stage during these preliminaries and who knows, maybe you'll participate during the main event at 20.00!

20.00 - 22.00 
First, two experimental battles are on the menu, in which the boundaries between theater and competition are blurred. In both the dance battle and the beat producers challenge, participants bring out the best in each other and surprise the audience with their talents.

The program will be concluded with the solo Stimuli by Dieke De Jong. She was winner of the Kunstbende in 2020. In Stimuli she will take her audience into a world of different stimuli in different forms. Impressions en sensory impulses will be looked at closely and meet each other on the stage. This combination of the 'extreme' and the 'daily normal' forms a story with character. It's a search for the boundaries of this concept, but what will happen when this boundaries will be crossed? A mix of conceptual improvisation and choreography keeps room for the stimuli in the moment to be interpreted through dance on stage.

This program is a collaboration between Nederlandse Dansdagen and The Notorious IBE.
