Sanne is part of the performance 'Under the skin' as one of the soloists, which premiered on 23rd of September at CC Amstel in Amsterdam and has been performed in several venues since. Choreography by Anastasia Kostner. Upcoming performance:
17.01.2022 Theater in der Altstadt Meran (IT)

More about Under the skin:
In Under the skin you will be taken on a journey that looks at a crisis as a beginning, a chance to experience the unknown. Four dancers reflect on the time of the Corona pandemic through different coping mechanisms. Embodying the different perspectives, they break habits, fight, take control and surrender through their dance.
Referring to social, psychological and physical perspectives, this time has imprinted us with foreseeable but also unforeseeable traces. With this performance, choreographer Anastasia Kostner wants to give a reflective, playful, dramatic and poetic introspection into the world of four women, four female individuals.
