Searching for your roots with dance performance by Artist in Residence Janne Groen

Published on

Janne Groen (Artist in Residence & alumna Academy of Theatre and Dance) is a versatile performer who brings personal experiences to life through dance, spoken word and music. On Thursday 24 April you’re invited to her solo performance Oost, West, Thuis Weg (East, West, Home Away...) at the Reinwardt Academy. Janne takes you on an emotionally turbulent journey, in search of a connection with her Indonesian roots. 

What does it mean to be Indonesian? Janne expresses this quest in dance, spoken word and in collaboration with guitarist Seyoum Yuno and saxophonist Wytze Minne de Swart. In the discussion afterwards we will reflect on this performance and have a conversation together about how we carry on our history from our identity in what we do.

AIR programme Performing Heritage
The performance is part of the AIR programme Performing Heritage by the Reinwardt Academy. Residents from contemporary and classical music, theatre makers and visual artists will investigate heritage in practice together with the students and staff.

Date & time: Thursday 24 April, 15:30-18:30
