DeDae dances for the earth. ‘The earth is a YOU.’ Anything that gets attention will grow and so DeDae focuses on the earth. DeDae dances the connection with the earth: the seasons, the weather, the soil, the earthworm, the forces of life and growth, but also shows the disruption and exploitation of the economic model. That is our message: our precious earth demands attention, demands human and creative responsibility.
DeDae is short for Dutch Eurythmy Dance Ensemble. We are a group of young, talented eurythmy dancers with Gia van den Akker and Roos Naves on the daily board. We are guided by the rhythm of the now and tomorrow, working with present-day themes, making productions and developing workshops for different audiences.
In the months to come, we will visit farms with our performance and workshop “Aardedans”, dance with visitors and farmers and make our respect and love for the earth tangible through the dance.
Dance, text, music, singing and image merge together: Texts from “Broze aarde“ from A. Krog, a fragment from the prologue ”Iets met Boeren”, Peter Dictus / Bureau Pees, speech from Roos Saat for the Rabobank; music from Vivaldi/Richter, Agnes Obel and Nynke Laverman arranged by Annie Tangberg. Duration: 40 minutes.
Workshop Aardedans:
This workshop focuses on our connection to the earth. The earth carries us, the earth breathes, is full of soil life and nourishes us. We listen with our feet, we breathe the rhythms of the earth, we move the sounds of our language. Each individually and together. Through the earth, also connect more with yourself and others. Feel welcome to join this Aardedans workshop!
