Held in the EYE film museum in Amsterdam, it is the largest and most diverse dance film festival in the world. Over the course of five days Cinedans will present the very best international dance films, documentaries and installations. Besides the short films, we’ll be screening the very impressive filmed performance of JOHN (Lloyd Newson’s final production with DV8 Physical Theatre) alongside documentaries such as Jaap Flier – Solist and Thin Skin, a film about choreographer Marco Goecke.

You want to see the FASHIONCLASH Festival campaign and the theme of gender come to live than you got to see Tabula Rasa.

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 will work with Mieke and Project Sally to create a collection that will be reflected and with a dance performance. Tabula Rasa is a gathering of different people who clash dance and fashion with purpose to engage a dialogue with the society.

Choreography: Martin Harriague
