Antípodas is a collective of artists from diverse backgrounds, coming together to explore transdisciplinary practices, instant composition, using somatic bodywork as an entrance into imagination and collaboration, facilitating connection. Established in 2022, the group delves deeply into these domains, questioning established performance norms regarding time, space, audience relationships, narrative, and dramaturgy.
Believing in the intrinsic value of art beyond entertainment or utility, Antípodas opposes values like efficiency, profit, and passive consumption. Their work focuses on creating rich imagery, sounds, and movement, emphasising poetry and imagination. They promote deep listening and shared experiences, sharing time and knowledge from an inclusive, embodied viewpoint.
Their approach centers on creativity and imagination, offering non-linear stories and inviting active audience engagement. They value non-hierarchical teamwork, co-creation, and integration of art into daily life.
The members of the Antípodas Collective:
Geerte de Koe, a violinist and workshop leader who specializes in instant composition and bodywork in community art; Marc Nukoop, a maker and performer in the fields of dance, (electronic) music, objects, video, writing; Diederick van Rijsewijk, an interdisciplinary performer and musician who combines music, language, imagination, and movement to connect with audiences. Pau Sola Masafrets, a cellist, improviser, composer, and performer who explores contemporary jazz, classical music, free improvisation, and performance art; Laisvie Andrea Ochoa, a choreographer, dancer, and video artist who leads “ConCuerpos,” an inclusive dance company that started in Colombia; Femke Jansen, a dancer, hydrologist, and basket weaver who highlights connections among people; Lux Sauer a dancer and choreographer who incorporates feminist and gender themes in their work.
