Jefta Tanate X Alistair Payne & Marta Arpini

Award-winning dancer Jefta Tanate interned at Scapino Ballet and shortly afterwards created several solo performances, followed by his first productions Even Onions Don't Make Me Cry and DOMELESS . Now he is interacting with the outspoken tone and out-of-the-box attitude by trumpeter Alistair Payne, and the challenging melodies and colorful orchestrations of singer-songwriter Marta Arpini.

Lucinda Wessels x Rafael Devánte Sinay

Lucinda Wessels danced major performances in all kinds of genres from ballet to street dance. She even performed in the opera How ANANSI freed the stories of the world at the National Opera & Ballet. The young guitarist Rafael Devánte Sinay is making a name for himself in the jazz world with his band SMANDEM . with which he performed at major festivals such as North Sea Jazz.

Tuan Trang x Yanna Pelser

Dancer Tuan Trang has his roots in hip hop and is always curious for more. He danced works by renowned choreographers such as Conny Janssen and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Yanna Pelser is a classically trained viola player who also uses her voice. She played viola in various ensembles , also in pop and jazz, and played tracks for big stars like David Guetta and will.i.am.

Alesya Dobysh X Sun-Mi Hong

Alesya Dobysh combines her background in street, house and battle dance with performance art, theatre, visual art and sound art. By experimenting with different forms she develops her own choreographies. In the work of drummer Sun-Mi Hong we hear catchy melodies and dramatic outbursts, alongside impressionistic sound patterns and unusual time signatures.

After the performances there is an afterparty in the café with DJ Stijn van Beek. Everyone has a great time on the dance floor!
