During the ICK Dans Amsterdam's residency at LAC, Emio Greco, Pieter C. Scholten and Suzan Tunca will meet the audience.

The ICKamsterdam supports new young authors and focuses on educational and research projects. One of the guiding principles is The Body in Revolt, a practice based on the power and vulnerability of the intuitive body and that has been told within an essay by Greco and Scholten starting from the archetypal figure of Don Quixote.

The key concepts of this practice will be illustrated during a lecture in form of a performance, during which the dancers will show fragments of the creation We, the Breath, the first part of a long-term project that gives meaning to the key concepts and expresses the changing and complex times in which we live. During the meeting, Academy Director Suzan Tunca will participate reporting from Amsterdam to further explain the research around the documentation of dance.

Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten are the directors of ICKamsterdam and regularly create their own choreographic works for the corps de ballet which consists of an ensemble of male and female dancers and a junior company, the ICK-Next. They have been working together for more than twenty-five years in the research of a new dance language and a new approach to the body in which, both the "rebellious body" and the triad "performance, body and miracle" are the guiding principles.

In 2021, they received the Golden Swan, presented by Minister van Engelshoven, in recognition of their great contribution to Dutch dance.

Suzan Tunca is a dance researcher and performing artist, currently responsible for the dance research activities at ICKamsterdam, the development and implementation of the artistic research curriculum for dancers at CODARTS, and member of DASresearch THIRD.
With her work as a dance researcher in professional and educational contexts and as a performing artist, she aims to contribute to the continous regeneration and advancement of dance as an autonomous art form and as an invaluable source for embodied knowledge and understanding.
