NJO
Muziekzomer presents ‘Workers Union’, a music and dance performance
created by Regina van Berkel named after ‘Workers Union’ by Louis Andriessen.
Last
year, choreographer Van Berkel created ‘Music for a Summer Evening’ for the NJO
Muziekzomer 2014. ‘Music for a Summer Evening’ was a very successful show
brought on stage in Radio Kootwijk, a former broadcast station in a lovely part
of the province of Gelderland in The Netherlands.
This
year, Regina van Berkel and stage designer Dietmar Janeck needed an industrial
building for their new show. They chose an old factory in the city of Nijmegen:
Cultuurspinnerij De Vasim, a remarkable building with an equally striking
interior. Huge arches add to the unique atmosphere. The audience will move
around the space during the performance.
Ten
students from 4 European colleges will dance to several works by Andriessen
-- including Workers Union, written ‘for any loud-sounding group of
instruments’.
Musicians:
Tim
Sabel - piano
Martin
van Hees - guitar
Isa
Goldschmeding - violin
Daan
van Koppen - saxophone
Jennifer
Heins - percussion
Students
from:
