Finding Places
over Nieuw werk van Lea Ved
Het werk van Lea kan het beste omschreven woorden als speels, poëtisch, zacht, en een beetje dromerig. Lea heeft jarenlang bij het Nederlands Dans Theater gedanst en timmert nu hard aan de weg als maker bij Korzo. In deze double bill werkt ze samen met oud-NDT danser Spencer Dickhaus. Daarover zegt ze het volgende:
''We tap into a kind of imagined place, a state; to briefly retreat from and process an ever saturating world of information. Around the eternal stirring thought, is a hunger for space to brew. A radio silence to exist inside of. To deal with interruption, both welcome and rejected. Here we sit with reaction, question, emotion, consideration. We look at our behavior in a space where ingredients are in flux, in harmony, in fight. There is a dichotomy of desire for independence, and an undeniable inter-dependence. Amidst the complex systems we are in tension with, attempting to understand, this momentary escape is both a relief and increasingly difficult to cultivate. Alongside dancer Spencer Dickhaus and composer Boris de Klerk, I attempt to translate this liminal nomadic space.''

over Thu Hương van Tú Hoàng
De geur van de herfst. Dat is vrij vertaald de betekenis van Thu Hương, de moeder van choreograaf Tú Hoàng. Met deze voorstelling brengt hij een ode aan zijn moeder en viert hij de schoonheid van de vrouw. Tú grijpt daarvoor terug naar zijn opleiding als klassiek geschoold danser.
In Thu Hương brengen twee dansers een vloeiende mix van Vietnamese dansstijlen en contemporary. Een choreografie die ademt en flowt, met precieze gebaren en delicate bewegingen. Hiermee toont Tú de liefde voor zijn moeder en reflecteert hij op hun moeder-zoon relatie. Tú Hoàng is huismaker bij Korzo en heeft vele prijzen weten binnen te slepen als choreograaf. Hij toerde in 2024 uitgebreid met zijn werk False Memories.

about Thu Hương from Tú Hoàng
Autumn scent. That is – roughly translated – the meaning of Thu Hương, the mother of choreographer Tú Hoàng. With his latest creation he pays homage to his mother and celebrates the beauty of women.
Tú does so by harking back to his days as a classically trained dancer. The performance showcases two dancers in a flowing mix of classic Vietnamese folk dance and contemporary dance. A choreography that breathes and flows, with delicate gestures and precise movements. With Thu Hương, Tú shows his love for his mother and reflects on the mother-son bond they share.
Tú Hoàng is a maker in residence at Korzo. In 2024 he toured the Netherlands with his work False Memories during DansClick.
