The Dutch Dance Days at Lumière
During the Dutch Dance Days (from 2 to 8 October), we’re screening the short film Fear for a week, as well as the documentary Hans van Manen: Just Dance The Steps on Sunday 4 October.
During the Nederlandse Dansdagen (Dutch Dance Days), we’re screening Hans van Manen: Just Dance The Steps on October 4, a portrait of one of the most important choreographers in Dutch dance. The documentary follows Hans van Manen during rehearsals and meetings, and shows how his clear, authentic style influenced generations of dancers.
From 1 to 7 October, we’re also screening the short film Fear (3′) by Karel López right before each film – a film about the fear of embracing one’s true way of moving. Dancers are in a constant quest to find within themselves a precious sense of uniqueness and expression. Society is built on codes that shape how we fit in social circles, communities and industries. What is the true way to express ourselves in a world governed by codes? This is a film about the fear of embracing our true way of moving.
