Performance and workshop at the Inclusive Dance Event of ReDiscover Me – June 2025

Performance

The Inclusive Dance Event consists of two days at CC Amstel with various performances, workshops and much more. On June 7th we kick off with the performance ‘Elk Verhaal Telt’. On June 8th we will play this performance again and guest performances including the duet What You Left Me of Laisvie Ochoa and Dennis Massar, from ConCuerpos NL.

What you left me

From the intersection between Sign Language and dance, choreographer Laisvie Ochoa, is exploring the feeling of loss. In a duet with Dennis Massar, and using material developed with Anneloes van Schuppen, the work presents a visual expression of movent that seeks to honor what her mother left her.

Date: 8th of June 2025

Time: 12h

Place: CC Amstel, Cullinanplein 1, 1074 JN Amsterdam

Workshop:

The Inclusive Dance Event continues beyond the performance! On Saturday, June 14 and Saturday, June 21, you are warmly invited to the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam for inspiring workshops, sharings, performances, and conversations with dance makers and participants.

Description of the workshop Eloquent hands on the 21st of June at 13h

In this workshop, we—Laisvie and Dennis—invite you to explore the deep connection between dance and Sign Language. Drawing from our ongoing research, we’ll dive into how movement can be guided entirely by the hands—fast, soft, precise, and always expressive. Through embodied practice, we’ll investigate how hands can shape, lead, and transform the entire body in motion. We’ll explore gestures not just as decorative elements, but as eloquent tools of communication—where dance becomes language, and language becomes dance.

Open to dancers of all levels who are curious about expression, communication, and the poetic potential of the body.

This workshop is based on the performance “What you left me” on the 8th of June at the IDE by RDM.

Date: 21st of June 2025

Place: Academy of Theatre and Dance, Jodenbreestraat 3, Amsterdam

Time: 11:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Lunch: 12:15 – 1:00 PM. A simple lunch will be provided. If you’d like a more substantial meal, feel free to bring something extra for yourself.
