2023 … another year filled with inspiring projects for les enfants du garage’s dramaturg Sara Vanderieck!
Five performances on which she collaborated as a dramaturg premiered this past year: Maxime Arnould’s performative attempt at bonding with a drone Hello World, Clementine Colpin’s documentary performance ANNETTE, Serge Aimé Coulibaly new contemporary dance performance C La Vie, Carole Karemera’s performative exchange on racism Blind Spot and Maja Westerveld’s huge participatory creation for OBV/VONK Schemer.
Several of her collaborations continued their tours throughout 2023, including Vanderieck’s live presence for Lisi Estaras’ strong and sexy solo #THISISBEAUTY at Julidans Festival in Amsterdam and for When I look at a Strawberry, I think of a Tongue at the first edition of Dialaw Festival – Rythmes et formes du monde under the new artistic direction of Rachel Sigué Chenet and Sayouba Sigué in Toubab Dialaw – Senegal.
In May she participated for the third time in FTA’s Cliniques Dramaturgiques in Montréal, exchanging about the dramaturgical practice with Jordi Claramonte (Barajas de Melo), Carole Karemera (Kigali), Kama La Mackerel, Melmun Bajarchuu (Berlin), Emilie Martz-Kuhn (Montréal), Yohayna Hernández González (Montréal) and Silvia Soter da Silveira (Rio de Janeiro) and engaging with the local artistic community through one on one conversations.
Well … THANK YOU 2023.
And … HELLO 2024
2024 starts with Vanderieck’s participation in Vancouver Push Festival‘s first Dramaturgy Clinics at the end of January.
This new year announces several creations in recent and longtime partnerships, and again a diversity in both disciplines and languages. Let’s already reveal some: Sara will work as a dramaturg on three new dance creations: Léa Vinnette’s second creation Nos Feux, Louise Vanneste’s new solo creation 3 days, 3 nights and she has been invited by Lisi Estaras to continue their journey with the dramaturgy of her new inclusive creation What we can do together, a collaboration with Unmute Dance Company (Kaapstad – South Africa).
2024 will also be a year of artistic research and development for two of Vanderieck’s partners in workcrime: with Charlotte Goesaert she will collaborate on The Whole Shebang, a research into the performative body as bearer of documentary material and with Maxime Arnould she prepares the creation of Passion for Fear.
