As you might know, WhyNot holds office at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord. And we always spice up their diner event Ditdit-Dada-Ditdit with some dance & performance art! Next up, on Friday 26 November, we have invited Strange Strangers to present their dance duet 'Into The Blue' that takes a deep dive into stress and insomnia. What is the effect of sleeplessness on our emotional and physical state?
