GREENHOUSE

Our development network for dance, mime and performance

GREENHOUSE is a development network for dance, mime and performance. An initiative of BAU Platform for Dance and Performance, Boogaerdt / VanderSchoot, Keren Levi | NeverLike, Nicole Beutler Projects and Veem House for Performance. The network aims to create a healthy artistic ecosystem in Amsterdam in which dance, mime and performance artists can flourish.

 

Within GREENHOUSE, we share connections, facilities, ideas and expertise. We claim time and space for research, experimentation and encounters. Together, we provide the support needed for artists to germinate, grow, brew and flourish at every stage of their artistic development. Over the next four years, we will initiate and produce new work, offer residencies and internships, and organise workshops, lectures, summer courses and festivals.

 

Events from the GREENHOUSE network

COME TOGETHER is an annual three-day performance gathering with artists from Amsterdam. Produced by Nicole Beutler Projects and BAU, in collaboration with Frascati and the GREENHOUSE partners. More about COME TOGETHER and the selected artists at www.cometogether.amsterdam

 

GARDENING is a one-week creative incubator in which four artists are given the opportunity to simmer and grow new ideas alongside each other. They are given a studio space while being actively coached by professionals in the field. GARDENING is about planting new seeds, making, meeting, feeding, growing, sharing and cross pollinating each other’s worlds.

 

WE LIVE HERE is an annual summer academy at the end of the cultural season proposing time for experimentation, research and reflection beyond the scope of individual projects or production agendas. WE LIVE HERE invites professionals active in different fields of the performing arts and beyond to join a temporary community, to work and think together. WE LIVE HERE offers two Laboratory programmes with workshops, lectures, expeditions, How-Do-You-Work sessions and visits to Julidans.

Each session is based on the current concerns of one of the GREENHOUSE partners.

Join us for the 9th edition of COME TOGETHER!  
 
COME TOGETHER is the yearly performance gathering with artists from Amsterdam. A manifesto and a celebration of the many innovative and contemporary makers that Amsterdam harbors. This year with: Lisa Schamlé, Trees Heil, Pensive Vivifier, Waakhond, Werkplaats van de Woestijne, Sara Europaeus, Hannah Chandra Mahler, Rebecca Lillich Krüger/ Karolina Krynicka, Bai Li Wiegmans, Sjaid Foncé, Memic project / Roberta Maimone, Tamar Blom, Leendert Vooijce, Luit Bakker, Luuk Weers, Xiao Chuyue, Antonio Jose Guzman & Iva Jankovic, Corina Mitrovici | Carl-Johan Paulsen and Barnaby Savage 
 
Over three days, artists, colleagues and audiences share time, space and practice with each other. All the spaces of Frascati will be buzzing and bubbling with short sketches, presentation, poetic experiment, engaged conversations, lectures, debates and dance parties.  
 
COME TOGETHER is not a festival in the classical sense of the word. Rather than presenting finished pieces, it provides a platform for all forms of sharing: work-in-process, experiments, performance excerpts, installations, talks and workshops. Our goal is to nurture opportunities for growth, recognizing that, like plants, ideas need care and cultivation to blossom. Over three days, this gathering contributes to a fertile breeding ground for the Amsterdam performance, dance, and mime community, sharing the year's harvest with our audience. 
 
COME TOGETHER is a GREENHOUSE project produced by Nicole Beutler Projects in collaboration with Frascati, Ulrike Quade Company and BackBone. This year’s program is once again 'chain curated'. The GREENHOUSE network, Frascati Theater and our two new collaborators (Ulrike Quade Company and BackBone) each invited an artist, who in turn, invited another artist, and so on, until the chains was completed, creating a diverse and complete program. This year, we'll experience the work (in progress) of 19 Amsterdam-based artists!

GARDENING is a two-week creative incubator in which four dance/mime/performance artists are given the opportunity to simmer and grow new ideas alongside each other. They are given a studio space while being actively coached by professionals in the field. GARDENING is about planting new seeds, making, meeting, feeding, growing, sharing and cross pollinating each other’s worlds.

 

GARDENING 3 kicked off on March 6th and ended with four public sharings on 17 March 2023. Participating artists were Pleuni Veen, Eloy Cruz del Prado, Elisa Zuppini, and Amparo González Sola.

COME TOGETHER 8 
19, 20, 21 January 2023
Frascati Amsterdam

 

For the eighth time the performance arts, dance and mime community of Amsterdam came together. It was nice and busy in Frascati. It was about testing ideas and forms in the presence of audiences, by providing space for work that is still "in process", by experienced artists, as well as school leavers and other beginners.

MAMI KANG - BODY DRIFT
6 - 9 July 2022, Veem House for Performance

With the performance Body Drift, choreographer Mami Kang intends to create a state of constant morphing. With dream-like fragments, voice, sound and movement, the work imagines dance as something that transcends human exceptionalism and brings an altered vibrancy.


An assembled figure encompasses a multilayered spiritual microcosm. It resists the economy that tries to reify the world and reduce the individual to a single and solid representation. Here, spatiotemporal reconfiguration does not seek linear progressions but rather attune to the emergence of forgotten, decaying and unknown corporeal sites.


By exploring subconscious desire, Body Drift invites the audience to participate in a cryptic, elusive, thus charged space where fiction and reality, imagination and materiality intersect.

 

Mami Kang's Body Drift is Critic's Choice!
