Layers of light (2024)
|
EN: Which layers do you reveal to yourself and which to others? How do we perceive each other, when we have another look? The multi disciplinary performance Layers of light is looking at different perspectives of being (together). The performers share their expressions, ask questions and respond to the audience their presence and input, with the intention to start a dialog and finding ways to connect to each other.
NL: Wat laat je zien aan jezelf en aan de ander? En hoe zien we elkaar, als we opnieuw kijken? Daarover gaat Layers of light: een multidisciplinaire voorstelling met dans, fysiek theater, gesproken woord en muziek. Er wordt met wisselende perspectieven gespeeld over verschillende lagen van zijn. Daarin zoeken de performers ook een lichtvoetige interactie op met het publiek en laten zo een gezamenlijke ervaring ontstaan. Via vragen en keuzes verplaatst het publiek zich in de performers en de ruimte. De performers reageren daar vervolgens weer op met nieuwe perspectieven. Dialoog wordt interactie en interactie wordt verbinding! 26 May, 16.00 at De Grote Kerk, Naarden 1 June, 20.30 at CC Amstel, Amsterdam Credits: Concept: Sanne Clifford & Wordbites Performers: Sanne Clifford, Anastasia Kostner, Wordbites, Sem van der Zouwen Music: Erwin Tuijl | Light design: Ellen Knops | Artistic advice: Jordi Ribot Photography campaign image: Johan van der Klaauw A production by Stichting Sanne Clifford & Co with support of Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland, Gravin van Bylandt Stichting, NORMA Fonds & thanks to De Grote Kerk Naarden and CC Amstel |

Crossing Currents (parts in motion) (2022)
|
EN: How flexible can we remain in an always moving, ever changing scenery? Four dancers test their own and each other's (in)exhaustible adaptability in this interdisciplinary dance performance by Sanne Clifford & Talitha Schiffer.
NL: Hoe flexibel kun je je op blijven stellen in een steeds veranderende omgeving? In 'Crossing Currents’ tonen makers Sanne Clifford (choreograaf en danser) en Talitha Schiffer ('artitect'/beeldend kunstenaar) het contrast tussen de dynamische, maar ook kwetsbare kant van vier dansers en de veranderende landschappen van in elkaar passende beeldende objecten. Continue wordt hen opnieuw gevraagd: hoe ga je om met deze situatie? Beweeg je mee, of vecht je liever tegen het gewicht of de obstakels om je heen? De samenwerking tussen Clifford en Schiffer begon als een ‘parts in motion’ concept en is nu uitgegroeid tot een interdisciplinaire voorstelling over (on)uitputtelijk aanpassingsvermogen. Credits: Concept & creation: Sanne Clifford & Talitha Schiffer Choreography: Sanne Clifford Dance: Sanne Clifford, Anastasia Kostner, Sandra Kramerova & Teresa Santos Composition/music: Jeske de Blauw Artistic coaching: Pia Meuthen Decor/Parts concept: Talitha Schiffer Light design: Ellen Knops Photography: Rashel van der Schaaf Production: Sanne Clifford & Co Crossing Currents is mede mogelijk gemaakt door NORMA Feniks Fonds, Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst, Alkmaar Maakt Het!, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland, BIM Projects, Gravin van Bylandt Stichting en Stichting Sanne Clifford & Co.

In addition to our performance Anam Cara (soul Friend), this short dance film shows another perspective of an intimate meeting between the self and another as a mirror and a friend.

Voice of Void (2019)

Are we aligned with our surroundings or did we irreversibly distance ourselves from them?

This visual choreography / dancing installation by Sanne Clifford (choreographer) and Manon Veldhuis (scenographer) highlights the contrast between these two environments we live in.

Cocoon (2011)
Does the way in which you perceive yourself and how others perceive you resemble the person you are today? Layer upon layer of first impressions, choices and changes you made, have been formed in the years passing by.
Layers of plastic like a second skin. They are transparent, strong and vulnerable at the same time. Do they give enough space to breathe or do you need to peel those layers off to see who you are today? Four dancers struggle with those thoughts. Taking a step away from blending in daily life, they search for their own identity that fits today. A collaboration between Theatre Designer Majorie Voorhuis & choreographer Sanne Clifford. Danced by: Sanne Clifford, Sam Bergsma, Charlotte Schultz, Afke Brenninkmeijer/Sara Lisa Verbrugge.
