festival De Tuin der Lusten stops

Dear all,

The association of the festival De Tuin der Lusten decided to cancel the festival De Tuin der Lusten. The regional government no longer supports the festival. We are grateful that we could organise 9 beautiful events on 9 beautiful private estates. It was great to combine seemingly incompatible energies and to halt the moving artists for a moment in front of our extremely diverse audiences. A huge `thank you` to our team, the board, the landowners, the artists, the sponsors and the audiences.
In behalve of all the beautycausers
Casper de Vries

thanks to the organizers , Casper De Vries and Léonie Dijkema ,  I hope this festival will continue

So It was a festival full of encounters his disappearance is incomprehensible as to its organization and as always with return. I hope this does not contaminate other locations transmission of emotion knowledge and culture. He still wanted to be one of the few cultural sites to submit emergentes people away from a programming agreement day scenes. I was fortunate to meet a brilliant choreographer Satya Roosens and dancers Mirte Courtens Jochum De Boer,  clowns, musicians  and other equally talented practitioners. So it seems important that everyone who experienced or not this festival takes a look at the festival web site and sends an email of support.

Here's a pet project of mine I wanted to share with the Dance-Tech community: "Wrist Roles" LED-powered Lead / Follow wristbands.

For the past couple of years, I have been thinking about how gender roles interact with dance roles in lindy hop (and other social dances.) As someone who cares deeply about this dance and wants it to be an artform that is welcoming and available to everyone, regardless of gender, orientation, identity or preference, the strict division of lindy hop into "men lead" and "women follow" has never sat well with me.

I have been trying to imagine a dance space where gender is not automatically associated with dance role, where a woman could feel free to lead and a man to follow, and that was fully affirmed and accepted. But how would that work?

To start to answer that, I created this Wrist Roles" prototypes. Read more about it here.
