Nachtnetgat: Jasper Stadhouders, Julie Kurris, Ivo Bol Olga Tsyganova and Daphne Karstens

Julie Kurris is a theatrical performer and transdisciplinary Scientist who is always looking to dialogue with other performers and artists. She loves to play and create spaces that were unthinkable.

Daphne Karstens combines sculpture and costume to create experimental wearable sculptures, costumes, performances and installations. Her work focuses on experimentation with materials, shape and structure on and around the body. She often works with unconventional materials and combines the individual qualities of materials with shapes and structures.

Jasper Stadhouders’ playing showcases a completely natural musicality. One has the sense that he is so connected with his instrument he can play whatever he imagines. His ability to perform difficult compositions, with an assured sense of rhythm and harmony, combined with his extremely physical and dynamic approach to improvising, has led him being one of the most sought after guitarists around.

Olga Tsyganova was born in St.Petersburg, Russia and grew up in the U.S. Seeking out what brings joy and gives challenges, she found teachers in storytelling and listening, dance, theater. Her studies in psychology and her passion of dance brought her to the desire to do physical theater. She studied at the Mime school in Amsterdam and works on combining poetry, dreams, reality and music in her work.

For Ivo Bol all sounds are special: the hum of the fridge, or the noise of the record just before the song starts. He performs his music using his body and mind to manipulate these sounds with light sensors, touch, gesture or brainwaves.
