INSTINCT Conny Janssen Danst

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

For the first time, a large-scale performance by Conny Janssen Danst is being co-created. Artistic director Conny Janssen invites choreographer Patricia van Deutekom for this purpose. Where Patricia van Deutekom has a preference for a powerful, unpolished but sensitive dance language, Conny Janssen focuses more on the individual qualities of her dancers, which she interweaves with her own dance language. The result? A compelling mix of movement, music and stories that takes you into the struggle, tension and adrenaline of everyday life.
