Dancers and musicians express the art of being in the moment, in four performances.

Four duets, each with a dancer and a musician, improvising freely. This could well be the start of wonderful new collaborations. And a compelling experience for the audience. Together with Bimhuis we have linked up upcoming artists with renowned performers. They have all developed their own unique musical and physical language.

SIMON BUS X CHAERIN IM
With his inquisitive eye and hyper-flexible body, Simon Bus stretches ideas about dance. He started breakdancing at the age of twelve and became part of the international battle scene. He graduated as a visual artist and is now a core creator at DansBrabant. South Korean pianist Chaerin Im has quickly conquered her place in Dutch jazz in recent years. In 2024, NRC elected her Young Artist of the Year.

ROWAN VAN DEN BOOMEN X LORADENIZ
At a young age he started with breaking and popping and later at dance academy he discovered ballet and contemporary styles. Currently, Rowan van den Boomen seeks freedom through movement and other forms of expression, such as painting and fashion. Under the name Loradeniz, Deniz Omeroglu develops her own sonic world. As a classically trained pianist, sound designer and DJ, she blurs the boundaries between electronic, cinematic and experimental music.

ELOY COJAL X M. ALBERTO
Eloy Cojal is a versatile dancer from Catalonia whose movements explore the boundaries of popping, breaking, and contemporary dance. After studying at ArtEZ University, he collaborated with renowned choreographers, toured with Shechter II, and received a nomination for Best Male Dancer. Equal parts saxophonist, poet, theatre maker and anti-capitalist street-essayist, M. Alberto seeks to dismantle colonial structures, performing with artists from both sides of the Atlantic.

EMIO GRECO X TOMOKO MUKAIYAMA
In addition to his work as a dancer and choreographer, Emio Greco is active in projects in which dance, science and technology meet. With Pieter C. Scholten he founded the dance company Emio Greco | PC, which grew into ICK Dans Amsterdam. The Japanese-Dutch pianist and artist Tomoko Mukaiyama is praised for her multimedia performances in which she embarks on the sensory adventure together with her audience.
