WArd/waRD is moving to Tilburg

After ten valuable and fruitful years of working together with Theater Rotterdam, we are moving to Tilburg. Close to the Dutch-Belgian border and from an independent position we aim to strengthen local and international connections with social and cultural organizations and the audience.

In Tilburg we found a perspective that fits our company. The arts scene there, which includes a dance academy where our dancers regularly provide masterclasses, two theaters that program the work of Ann Van den Broek, a production company, a theater company and several museums, creates a climate that encourages new developments. In the meantime, we continue to focus on creating, producing, and presenting the artistic work of Ann Van den Broek.

The Balancing Act in Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg
We will introduce ourselves to the city as a Tilburg-based company for the first time with an extra performance of The Balancing Act in Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg on September 17. The performance was already in De Nieuwe Vorst in October last year and is now returning to Tilburg. Together with met Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg we will also present an extra program related to the performance that focuses on the theme and the creation of the piece.

Concert and film in De Nieuwe Vorst
We will be back in De Nieuwe Vorst on October 16. This time not with a dance performance, but with the concert that arose from the Memory Loss Collection. The musicians involved (Gregory Frateur, Nicolas Rombouts and Sjoerd Bruil) form a collective that improvises on compositions from the three performances.

On the evening of the concert, Memory Loss Inside, a film adaptation of the last performance from the Memory Loss Collection, will also be shown in the theater. The dance film won the ‘Performance Relay & Camera Rework Competition’ during Cinedans in 2022.

Gratitude
We would like to express our gratitude to Theater Rotterdam for our wonderful partnership. We look forward to continuing our relationship in a new form. We also want to thank Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg and Theater de Nieuwe Vorst for opening their doors for us. We feel welcome in the cultural scene of Tilburg.
