Music Meets Dance: Simon Bus x Chaerin Im | Rowan van den Boomen x Loradeniz | Joley Groeizaam x Marc Alberto | Emio Greco x Tomoko Mukayama
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dancers and musicians express the art of being in the moment, in four duets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four duets, 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 upcoming artists with renowned performers. They have all developed their own unique musical and physical language.
SIMON BUS X CHAERIN IM
With his inquisitive eye and hyper-flexible body, Simon Bus stretches ideas about dance. He started breakdancing at the age of twelve and became part of the international battle scene. He graduated as a visual artist and is now a core creator at DansBrabant. South Korean pianist Chaerin Im has quickly conquered her place in Dutch jazz in recent years. In 2024, NRC elected her Young Artist of the Year.

ROWAN VAN DEN BOOMEN X LORADENIZ
At a young age he started with breaking and popping and later at dance academy he discovered ballet and contemporary styles. Currently, Rowan van den Boomen seeks freedom through movement and other forms of expression, such as painting and fashion. Under the name Loradeniz, Deniz Omeroglu develops his own sonic world. As a classically trained pianist, sound designer and DJ, he blurs the boundaries between electronic, cinematic and experimental music.
