What is BAU Lab?

BAU Lab focuses on expanding artistic practice through interdisciplinary

collaborations. It explores at the highest level the collaboration between the

independent performing arts and other disciplines such as music, technology,

visual arts or architecture. Using a structured working process, professionals

engage in intensive discussions, share their expertise and experiment. All of this

under the supervision of experts.

Ropes Aligned and Isabel Cordeiro

The focus of this year's masterclass is gravity, both as a subject and as a physical

experience. By interweaving reading sessions on the subject and movement

sessions in suspension, we aim to create the conditions for participants to

establish their personal and bodily relationship to gravity.

Our starting point will be the first attempts to understand gravity by the Greek

philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). Aristotle claimed that the four elements -

earth, water, air and fire - gravitate towards the centre of the universe according

to their weight. The centre of the universe, conveniently located beneath his feet.

Moving away from Aristotle's geocentric view of the universe, we ask participants

to venture into an unknown space. To redefine and construct a new space by

subjecting it to their own interpretation.

BAU Lab '23 takes place under the guidance of vertical dancers Ropes Aligned

(Suzanne de Bekker and Natasja Bode) and visual artist Isabel Cordeiro.

BAU Lab runs with a max of 16 participants.
