This is just a simple dance - De Nieuwe Vorst

This is just a simple dance is a collaboration between mime artist Gerben Vaillant and the dance company Lazy Susan & Co. The physical and visual performance, set in an abandoned village, provides the framework for the dancers and Gerben to explore their fascinations and interests.

Starting points are photographs by Alessandra Sanguinetti and Ton Grote, femininity as sensitivity, the voice of Sinead O'Connor and dance as a way to dig into physical sensations. The composition of chaos and randomness on stage tries to capture the beauty of simplicity.

This is just a simple dance is the wrong place for something beautiful. Somewhere between a painting, theater and dance. It is getting lost in the beautiful simplicity of having no better option.
