Four performances, each with a dancer and a musician, improvising freely. This could well be the start of wonderful new collaborations. And a compelling experience for the audience. Together with dance platform WhyNot we have linked up these renowned performers. They have all developed their own forms of expression.

Annelie Koning & Miri Lee
The voice forms the heart of the work of Annelie Koning. The Amsterdam-based performer and singer works between music and theatre. For example, she explores the voice in relation to poetry in the formation BLIK that she co-founded with met Luc Ex en Tristan Renfrow. Miri Lee is an ‘imprographer’ and choreographer who has left a distinct mark on Amsterdam’s artistic landscape. She is known for her collaborations with leading figures in visual art, music, science, poetry, theater, and film.

Joshua Herwig & Lea Ved
As a cellist and composer, Joshua Herwig has won prestigious awards such as the Dutch Jazz Competition, De Jonge Makers Prize, and Keep an Eye the Records, in various ensembles. His music fuses lyricism, groove, texture, and dynamics into a dazzling sound world. As a choreographer and performer, Lea Ved creates work that is both raw and poetic, investigating movement as a living, breathing language. Born in the US and living in The Netherlands, she has danced with Royal Swedish Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater, among others.

Raphael Vanoli & Tú Hoàng
Guitarist Raphael Vanoli developed his own sonic universe by experimenting with electronics and unorthodox techniques. He’s part of the duo Knalpot and he collaborates with, among others, Jameszoo, Slagwerk Den Haag and Asko|Schönberg. Tú Hoàng is a Vietnamese-Dutch choreographer and movement artist known for his fusion of contemporary dance, martial arts, urban styles, and Taoist philosophy. He works internationally across dance, film, and multidisciplinary platforms.

Amber Docters van Leeuwen & Klára Alexová
Amber Docters van Leeuwen is a composer, and performer. Her work emerges from a research-based approach in which sound, theatre, and documentary elements are interwoven. She studied at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and the Manhattan School of Music in New York. Klára Alexová is an actress with a background in dance theatre. With her own work she moves between the Czech Republic, where she was born, and The Netherlands, where she lives. She collaborated with, among others, Boukje Schweigman, Davy Pieters and The Paper Ensemble.
