picture by Team Peter Stigter

Project Sally Maastricht presented a “Folia” dance performance at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2016, a powerful and visually stunning piece performaned by two very talented dancers.

Each year Project Sally Maastricht invites young choreographers during their Choreographic Residencies Program. Especially for the 8th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival they assigned the talented French choreographer, Martin Harriague to create a new work.
For this performance Martin Harriague once again collaborated with with Maastricht based designer Mieke Kockelkorn. Last year they created Tabula Rasa

'Throughout history, cultural heritage has been threatened by the constant evolution of the world’s social and political concerns. Too often, the result of this threat has been the disappearance of some of the world’s greatest cultural achievements.'
Folia is inspired by the traditions and history of the Iberian peninsula where Martin was born, creating a contemporary adaptation of ‘La Folia’ - a quick-paced, tumultuous dance dating back to the late 15th century.

Choreography : Martin Harriague
Costumes: Mieke Kockelkorn
Performed by: Patrizio Bucci, Luis Pedraza Cedrón
Production: Project Sally Maastricht
Folia is supported by Via Zuid

Tabula Rasa - Maastricht Colours You

Tabula Rasa 'Spectrum' performance for Maastricht Colors You

Last weekend, June 20, city of Maastricht had to the honor to host Roze Zaterdag (Pink Saturday). Under the title 'Maastricht Colors You' all over the city festivities and events where organized around the context to celebrate diversity.
For this occasion we presented the Tabula Rasa dance performance at Centre Céramique.
Project Sally Maastricht, FASHIONCLASH and designer Mieke Kockelkorn started a partnership with the aim to provide the awareness and transcend conservative gender roles in our society and a message of freedom. In a range of workshops, transgender youngsters are working with Mieke and Project Sally to create a collection that will be reflected through various dance performances. Tabula Rasa is a gathering of different people who clash dance and fashion with purpose to engage a dialogue with the society.

Project Sally Maastricht organizes Choreographic Residencies Maastricht, and for Tabula Rasa they invited promising Franch choreographer Martin Harriague to develop a performance based on the FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015 theme of gender and the festival's campaign. The first presentation took place during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015. The aim is to develop the project further and to invite more choreographer, designers and dancers to engage with the project.

For the first presentation of Tabula Rasa, Martin Harriague developed a striking contemporary dance performance 'Spectrum'. Mieke Kockelkorn designed the costumes and dancers Patrizio Bucci and Morgane Michel brought the performance to live.

Ontwerper/Ondernemer Project

Doe je ogen dicht en denk aan Maastricht - Eén van de eerste dingen die je dan ‘ziet’ is winkelend publiek in de sfeervolle straten van onze karakteristieke stad en mensen die een drankje doen op het terras gelegen aan een gezellig plein.

Maastricht Winkelstad, we kunnen ons er alles bij voorstellen. Winkelen en mode hebben alles met elkaar te maken. Maar toch is het concept Maastricht Modestad nog niet zo duidelijk te zien.


Het antwoord: Ontwerper/Ondernemer Project
Het concept Maastricht Modestad is nog niet sterk gevestigd terwijl hier wel mogelijkheden voor zijn. Daar wilt Gemeente Maastricht in samenwerking met FASHIONCLASH wat aan doen.

Gezamenlijke ambitie: mode in Maastricht versterken gericht op een reputatie en een dynamische modesector van Maastricht als modestad. Hoe? De academie in Maastricht is een bronpunt van veel talent. Maar slechts weinigen worden succesvol ondernemer. Hierdoor komt veel talent niet tot volledige wasdom. FASHIONCLASH en de gemeente Maastricht slaan de handen ineen en bieden een gezamenlijk programma aan: Ontwerper/Ondernemer.
Dit zakelijk begeleidingsprogramma leert ontwerpers op persoonlijke wijze de basisvaardigheden van het ondernemen waarmee ze hun eigen modeonderneming kunnen ontwikkelen.
Er is nog een lange weg te gaan maar de ingrediënten en de enthousiasme zijn er.

Deelnemers 'Ontwerper/Ondernemer': Joelle Boers, Mieke Kockelkorn, Gabriel Guevara, Linda Friesen, Danielle Vroemen, Ebby Port, Marscha Kessels, Branko Popovic, Nawie Kuiper, FASHIONCLASH.
