MANIFESTO Performance is, in essence, a conversation between people (on a stage) and people (in an audience) in which they use languages that we humans naturally understand on a subconscious, intuitive level, such as: body language, rhythm, emotion, colour… Using all our senses, we immerse ourselves in a story and in someones point of view. We are allowed to identify ourselves with the other, feel, hear and see what the other feels, hears and sees and either recognise ourself in them and feel connected, or be confronted with a different point of view which we can then possibly learn to understand. I wish to use the performing arts to ignite curiosity and wonder for how complex the world, and lives and matters within it can be. I wish to use its languages to connect to people and to connect different people to each other.
