ONE NIGHT STAND

We had six great nights:

First night was hosted by Ryan O’Shea (www.ryanosheatheatre.com/), a theatre maker, performer and a second-year student at the ArtEZ MA in performance practices. Ryan’s artistic research is concerned with performative ambivalence, finding the joy in the ordinary and methods of clouding and clowning. Ryan’s approach comes from a perspective of joy; Perfect for our first date filled with frivolous encounters.

Second night was hosted by Amit Palgi (sites.google.com/view/amitpalgi/home), a dancer, maker, performer and a fourth-year student at the ArtEZ BA in Dance Maker. Amit’s artistic research is busy with the gap between the physical (body) and the digital (Phone). In this night we visited our digital selves by looking, gathering, and sharing the intimate information we only share with our phones.  

And the third night, with Sofia Norman, a dancer, maker, third-year student at the ArtEZ BA in Dance Artist. Her artistic research is centered around the undiscovered potential of everyday movements. She is interested in what ordinary movements could provide or potentially become. She organized an evening spectacle within the ordinary.

Forth night hosted by Kristina Miltcheva, forth-year student at the ArtEZ BA in Graphic Design. She is interested in researching unitive mystical experiences that can help individuals realize that we are one, that we share not only the same reality, but the same universal consciousness. Oneness, inter-connection, and a human-becoming are central themes of my artistic research.

Fifth night hosted by Julian Bazzanella and Elsa Steixner, forth-year students at the ArtEZ BA in Jazz and Pop. In their one night stand they research what happens to their creative processes if they start from scratch in a room that they don´t control. Which notes, which words come out being surrounded by the presence and the actions of others.

The sixth night was a Crossover ONE NIGHT STAND about how the night forces could contribute to the idea of reflection. All hosts and participants from all the previous events came together for a night of flying in between the memories and beyond.
