Mover van de Maand

Iedere maand stellen we je op deze pagina voor aan de 'Mover van de Maand'. Deze maand: Andre Gingras!

Wie is Andre Gingras?

I began choreographing in Holland in 1999. After an extensive career in dance and theatre, my desire to explore a highly physical and visual personal language began to manifest itself. My movement research finds its inspiration in martial arts, breakdance, the physical symptoms related to specific medical conditions and in post-modern dance and theatre. My desire is to interface dance with the visual and digital arts and to engage audiences in a dialogue based in contemporary issues.

Voor het Holland Dance Festival werk je aan de voorstelling Monsterz. Wat is dat voor voorstelling en wat vind je er leuk aan?

Monsterz is a performance for young people, from 12+ (but also suitable for older people). It is an exploration of fear and monsters, a very appealing theme to work with!

Hoe ziet een dag in het leven van Andre eruit?

Wake up around 7:30, go to gym for cardio training. Go to rehearsal. Meet with collaborators and dancers. Create exciting, strange, funny and deeply physical material. Go home. Eat. Answer many emails and write many things down. Go to bed.

Op welke dansprestatie/voorstelling ben je het meest trots?

All of them!

Welke voorstelling van het Holland Dance Festival zou je beslist niet willen missen?

We must all go see the new performance of Ohad Naharin ('Love/MAX' - Batsheva Dance Company red.) and the new work for the anniversary of NDT (50 Years of Challenging Dance - Nederlands Dans Theater red.)!
