JOURNEY

“Humankind, a species that has the power to create the world around them as they see fit. However, can we create anything we want? How powerful are we? What are our limits?” 


JOURNEY is an interdisciplinary cross-over performance about "the poetic drama of humankind". It shows us the duality of life and how opposites intertwine and connect, and how this creates our existance. Life and death, day and night, light and heavy. JOURNEY asks questions that make us reflect on ourselves as human beings and "human doings"; What's in the past? How to take control? What's on the other side? How do we relate to the world around and in ourselves?  
 
This performance was created from scratch and rehearsed in 10 weeks by students from no less than 8 associations and directed by Sophie van Grinsven (@triskelioncreativecourses). Students started from their own perspective and field of expertise and worked together to cross over to other artistic disciplines, creating a 40 minute cross-over performance to explore the human existence in all it's diversity.
The disciplines that are covered in this act are: Music, Dance, Theater, Spoken Word, Visual Art, Photography, Chess and Scala-memes

Music Through the Years

"๐—ค๐˜‚๐—ถ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜, ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜"

Long, long ago, in the time when nature๐ŸŒณ was still in balance, but warsโš” already ruined a peaceful life, music of course was already all around. It gave an embodiment of people's longins, needs, and heartstrong desires, even as reminders, gestures of gratitude, and wonderful entertainment. Music was there before, and time has only carried it further, a developmental journey over mountains of collective passion, and lakes of personal drive.

Let us take you with us, through the ages.๐ŸŽผStarting with ancient Gregorian chant, visiting many stops along the road of classical music, ๐ŸŽปswinging๐ŸŽท along with the early and later jazz,๐ŸŽบ๐ŸŽธ and catching up with more modern music, ending with some up-to-date contemporary electronic vibes. ๐ŸŽต

Listen.๐ŸŽถ Absorb like a sponge. And throw it all out again, at the old-time favourite sing-alongs.

Japanese Jazz Night

Studentproof and Kinjin are gonna funk up Lunafest by playing some Japanese funk-jazz from the 70's along with some new J-pop classics with a jazzy twist!

The Ceili workshop will be hosted by Madelief Wagenaar, an experienced Irish dance teacher and performer, for example known from her performances with the Dutch Folk Band Rapalje. 

 

Irish dancing is famous because of the big shows like 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance', but when it comes to ceili dancing, the steps are much more basic and easygoing. Ceili is a very social experience and thus a great opportunity to connect with new people. During this workshop, you will learn the basics of Irish Ceili dancing. With just a few simple steps you will be able to dance along to all the dances during this workshop. No dance experience required and guaranteed fun!๐Ÿฅณ

 

So come join us in Orbit for the Ceili workshop. All you need is a willingness to learn and have a great time!
