ROBIN DINGEMANS

A corporal contemplation on space. Mundane domestic, geo-political, and abstract philosophic, made of meaning making. Space brought alive with a crack, by gentle intimacies to tribal and nationalistic territorial. Based on readings and feelings of Why Suicide Bombers Do It (Robert Pape), Leroy from F.A.M.E., and all our pleasures and complications of being very human.

"Dingemans is a gangly wild man and Joanne Fong, his even more unbridled partner in ME + YOU = 5, a Dionysian dynamo. Together this inspired duo devised a novel show about interpersonal communications and the complexities of being alive that was by turns comic, rapturous, raw, stimulating, playful, thoughtful, excessive and, at times, peculiarly touching."-Donald Hutera, Dance Europe Magazine

 

“This was dance assimilating theatre, using set, props, music and live sound, text, lyrics, video, and voice to great effect, entwining physical metaphors in a multimedia collaboration which went beyond my previous experience of the potential of the medium of dance.”
