Collective Blue Mondays to when we were surrounded by all shades of blue and gave me the space and freedom to experiment and create a unique site specific piece, to interact with the work of 14 visual artists and painters (including my bestie .coco ), and to comment on social ignorance, the bombardment of conflicting media, moving in slow motion in the most fast-forwarded times, reconnecting to the self and others, making things harder than they have to be, attempting to reshape and reverse..life!

In the middle of the week, of the day, of a lockdown..in the middle of nowhere, somewhere and everywhere !

Re-organising life and debating that balance, unquestionably through hoops and loops, is restored inevitably!

This year felt like it caught us off guard half way through our planned life!
It was unexpected, eventful, restricting yet so freaking freeing at the same time.
Days got a new meaning or simply lost their old one. A common feeling, issue, problem for everyone around the world. Scary but uniting at the same time.

Just like this, a year has passed, and no doubt for many was frustrating and hard.
Me, I went through it like a soul train competition!
Fast, sweaty and we lots of shakes!

Appreciative to the fact that the Dutch government only locked us in last month! Therefore many moments such as this took place in tiny apartments, parks, corners, gardens, parking lots, bridges and of course the streets!

Grateful for all the projects that I was part of, the loved ones in my life and all new friendships that came my way.
2020 adios! We lost our jobs, we got sick, and remembered we can’t take anything for granted!

Holla to my girls that made this year more tolerable .coco .hoogbergen .l and everyone else that made this time not to go to waste!

At that time of day only a few are out and about. There is a rawness in the atmosphere and the air is refreshing and cold. Clear and clean, yet with some aftermath lingering from the night that came before.
All sounds make a long lasting echo and the mood of the day is being set by mostly everything else but you.
The feeling of removing that weight from myself and allowing to be carried away in the day by someone else, or something else, or in this case my friends the roosters. Although the city is not a place for them, and since they were placed there, they fill the gap of an urban space in their own way. Awaking us..
Up to you to decide if you “feel” the gap !

The first question asked in an
emergency situation is :
“Is the person breathing?”
I am happy to say that I am overtaken by sorrow
I am comfortable living in oxymorons
to move with no plan
no guilt
just oscillate in space
surrounded by colours
allowing darkness to flow out
to be weird
to breathe

Research and movement task for
a beautiful initiative created by dear friend and artist extraordinaire ,
produced by planning-master friend .l ,
a great platform connecting artists from all over the world with one movement task.
A common experience and an unlimited movement archive. A collective artwork!

Dear movers,

we are very excited to announce our first ever LIVE session!
Christina & Susan invite you to a 40min fluidity & conditioning morning session tomorrow at 11.00 AM (CET).
Join us to jumpstart your Sunday (we call it Funday) with some challenges for fluid and aware spine and joints 👣!

During this LIVE session we'll give you a glimpse into our Dance Specific Athletic training & Conditioning.
For those of you that joined before this will be a refreshing session. But we would also like to welcome any newcomers, friends, family and/or curious bystanders.
It's okay if you don't have a dance background, maybe after this you decide to put "learn to dance" on your list too!

So TUNE IN tomorrow either here or on instagram
and make sure you have a broom or a stick and a light book with you. Yes yes, you will need them! But not to read or clean. I mean, possibly, but who knows 🤷‍♀️
