What does that even mean to create a choreography? And is it possible to do so in just one single day? Choreographers Michele Rizzo, Daniel Cooke, Milena Sidorova and Ederson Rodriques Xavier take on this challenge.
Around the common theme of “lightness”, the Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet wants to show you that the creation of a dance piece can happen in very different ways. With four different makers, four different creative processes and 12 dancers. Resulting in the creation one completely new piece each day.

Lightness
In an age where everyone is affected by the weight of society, the overbearing fears of the economy and the heavy hand of government, 'lightness' is the way forward. Let go of the material and celebrate the ethereal with 11 weeks of 'lightness'. Each week Mediamatic invites a new artist to question the meaning of 'lightness'. Dance Laboratory is part of the Lightness events of Mediamatic.
