Instinct

09 Apr '26 to 10 Apr '26

Conny Janssen Danst

INSTINCT is not just a dance performance - it is an explosion of energy, movement and emotion. In this dynamic performance, featuring a group of adventurous dancers, the Rotterdam-based dance company Conny Janssen Danst plunges into the four instinctive responses to threat: fight, flee, freeze or please. What happens when you are under pressure?

INSTINCT

For the first time, a Conny Janssen Danst big stage production comes about through co-creation. Artistic leader Conny Janssen invited choreographer Patricia van Deutekom to join in. Patricia van Deutekom has a strong, unpolished but sensitive dance language, whereas Conny Janssen's focus is on the individual qualities of her dancers, which she intertwines with her own dance language. The result? A compelling mixture of movement, music and narratives that will take you to the struggle, tension and adrenaline of everyday life.

About Conny Janssen & Patricia van Deutekom

Conny Janssen Danst has been a leading modern dance company since 1992, known for the physical, theatrical power and human depth of its performances. Artistic director Conny Janssen draws inspiration from urban life and has been awarded the Gouden Zwaan (2019) and the honorable Award of Merit from Dansersfonds '79 (2023) for her impact on Dutch dance.

Patricia van Deutekom, a 2005 graduate of ArtEZ, developed into a dancer, co-choreographer, and rehearsal director. In 2021, she founded VANDEUTEKOM Collective, where she creates powerful, explosive, and poetic "dance concerts." In 2023, she was nominated for a Zwaan award for her role in La Despedida.
