4/9 You and Me Anytime Anywhere - Breda Buiten
What I do
Choreography/Performance
Every year and a half, I challenge myself to create and produce a new performance. I use dance and music as a medium to explore the necessity of movement and physical activity for humans to grow; I am captivated by the immersive quality that music and dance posses. How it enters our system and activates thoughts and emotions. I love the beauty of movement, moving and being moved.
Feel free to get in touch, I love collaborating and performing with other artists.
My work is supported by C-TAKT (B), DansBrabant (NL), Makershuis Tilburg (NL)
Coaching/teaching
During commissioned artistic work or workshops I experiment with integrating PLAY and improvisation into the creative process. I guide and motivate people to move towards research, prototyping, composition and finally performance. During this process I help to stretch habitual moving and thinking patterns, whilst always emphasizing the space and option to stay close and true to ourselves.
