THE FLOCK
by Roser López Espinosa and MTD2
The flock is a proposal for team work and collaboration. It is a group journey. A moment in time. We look for strong physicality and the delicacy and beauty of birds murmurations. We search for strategies to learn to fly. With tenacity and imagination, we team up and move on together, turning and twisting in this particular sky like a group moving as one.

Beyond : what words cannot express
Before : the physical definition of speech
by Liat Waysbort & Grainne Delaney
This piece examines in the physical the phenomena of allowing the voice to become a limb.
In this Theatre/Dance piece we are touching the in- between. This twilight zone where dreams are mixed with reality. A sustainable space where we begin to realize what is yet to come and what is still possible.
The dancers are experimenting with their narratives, insisting to be a part of one universal moment, one universal story.Their experiences are individual but complimentary. Echoing the words in our bodies, and our actions in our voices..
Between life and death, Heaven and Hell.
Before words and beyond stories.
Location: de Theaterschool, Danstheater, Jodenbreestraat 3, Amsterdam.

Brilliant love these dancers so inspiring. They prove that our bodies were made to dance and move.

I love the narrative in your pieces; I teach high school in Canada and would love to show a full dance story of yours as an exemplar for my grade 11/12 class on "non-dancers" so they can see how powerful this form can be in sending their message to their audience. If you would be willing/able to share a full dance theater piece just for my class I would really appreciate it!
