Arno Schuitemaker

Dutch dancer and choreographer, Arno Schuitemaker has presented his choreographies at renowned festivals and theaters in many countries across Europe, and beyond. Often characterized as interdisciplinary, his work transcends dance and pushes its boundaries. The magazines Dance Europe and Tanz have both mentioned him as being one the leading dancers in the Netherlands; he has won the Dioraphte Encouragement Award and has been selected for the Aerowaves Priority List and by the European Dancehouse network as a Modul-dance artist. He presented I Will Wait for You at CN D for Camping 2017. The 21 and 22 of June, If You Could See Me Now will be presented at Nouveau théâtre de Montreuil as a part of Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis.

During the workshop, the participants will explore the embodiment of Arno Schuitemaker’s approach to continuous movement: work on developing an ongoing transformation of only a single movement and explore the notion of regeneration. Progressing to a full awareness and grounded coordination of the body, the aim is to become fully connected with oneself and others in order to experience its specific trance-like state, “togetherness” and its performative intentions.
