"That was Then This is Now"
2006-03-31 until 2006-04-01
De Appel
Amsterdam, , NL

For the duration of one weekend De Appel is Janus-faced: looking back to past achievements and looking forward to unrealized possibilities. Theo Tegelaers, interim director of De Appel and Ann Demeester, newly appointed director compiled a programme that connects ‘then’, ‘now’ and the yet undefined ‘later’. With a polyphonic talk show including a large number of guests and hosts the history of De Appel is turned into a palpable experience rather than a series of written documents and photographs.

A presentation by academic Marga van Mechelen and a lecture by French curator Guillaume Désanges shed a new light on the origins of De Appel as a performance-based space set up by Wies Smals in 1975. The production ‘Show Dance’ by Swiss-Greek choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis explores the shadowland between conceptual dance, visual arts performance and hints at the future collaboration between De Appel and the festival ‘If I Can’t Dance’ in Autumn 2006.

About authentic and casual movement that become choreographic 'Fourteen girls are representing fourteen moments where the exchangeability of the individual becomes a reality on stage.
