Secret Menu
SNDO3xECD2 (student showings)
It’s spring time and Veem House welcomes the dance students of SNDO 3 and ECD 2! On April 12th, 13th, 19th and 20th they will present the outcome of their working period at Veem House under the title Secret Menu.
SNDOxECD is a project where students of two dance departments of the Academy of Theatre and Dance work together. A collaboration between 3rd year choreographers of the SNDO and dancers from 2nd year of the ECD, is an annual tradition and valuable part of the curriculum.
The programs are presented in Veem House for Performance, following the decade long tradition which started as collaboration between SNDO and MTD (Modern Theatre Department) and later joined by JMD/Urban Contemporary department.
The exchange works as follows: The SNDO3 students get a carte blanche to colaborate with the dancers of ECD2. Together they get to experience all facets of creating an autonomous work – and the responsibility that comes with that freedom.
The project allows makers and performers to experiment, explore and develop language of collaboration together, creating an environment where creativity of everyone is activated to make a choreographic work. It is learning about leading and following, understood as dynamic and relational process, about collaborating and exploring how idea moves into becoming the material and what is the role or choreographer and what of performer in shaping and crafting that material.
