This quartet with two dancers and two musicians makes work where individual practices merge into collective, collaborative work through deep listening to the wider worlds and playful interactions.
We began in March 2023 with a performance of ‘Beneath the Surface of the Earth’ in Splendor in Amsterdam. It was then performed at the Doek Festival ‘Art of the Outskirts’ in Amsterdam, in the same year.
In September 2025 we spent one week together in residency at De Rinck in Brussels, Belgium, where we had the chance to deepen and refine our collaboration. We performed new work ‘SED | THiRST’ at De Rinck and at Tictac Art Centre that same week.
…and what will join this standing up
and the ones who stood without sweet company
will sing and sing
back into the mountains and
if necessary
even under the sea
we are the ones we have been waiting for
– June Jordan, from: Poem for South African Women
SED | THiRST
Every planet has its own timing. Desire. Need. Dreams. Survival. Ritual. Ceremony.

Beneath the Surface of the Earth
Moving into the depths through interconnectedness. Life. Rebirth. (Re)Source.
Ground water. Reservoir. Ocean. Womb. Depth. Sometimes it’s necessary to descend into the earth for knowledge, power and transformation. And then we must come up again to share what we’ve found.
Reservoir. Ocean. Renewal.
“Far beneath the surface of the earth, hidden from the sun and the moon, upon the shores of the Starless Sea, there is a labyrinthine collection of tunnels and rooms filled with stories.”
– Erin Morgenstern, in: The Starless Sea
