‘Trip en masse’ wins Swan
White Horse has won the Swan for ‘most impressive dance production’ 2011 for TRIP en masse, a choreography adapted from the original trio version to 11 dancers of Amsterdam’s city dance company Dansgroep Amsterdam.

According to the jury, TRIP en masse is an overpowering dance performance that is at once entrancing, fascinating and terrifying. TRIP was originally made as a trio in 2008. Krisztina de Châtel (Golden Swan winner 2010) challenged the creators to make an expanded version for Dansgroep Amsterdam as a whole, which the dance jury considered an excellent choice. “The creation was even more gripping. The excellent performance makes TRIP en masse essential viewing in the dance theatre repertoire.”
TRIP en masse TRIP en masse is a murderous but fascinating battle of attrition about fanaticism, the masses and hysteria – a “bubble” of here-and-now-hardness. White Horse’s conceptual approach and strong physical orientation create new perspectives and insights – both for the dancers and the audience.
The Swans The 2011 Swans – the VSCD Dance Awards – were announced on Saturday 8 October in Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht, during the Gala of Dutch Dance. As always, the gala took place during the Dutch Dance Festival in Maastricht. The Swans are awarded to the most impressive dance performance and the most impressive dance production. The dance awards are an initiative of the Dutch Association of Theatres and Concert halls (VSCD).
Dansgroep Amsterdam Dansgroep Amsterdam is the city dance company for modern dance. The company develops modern dance by stimulating growth and experiment, and safeguards successful works for future audiences.

Together
Tenerife danza lab – laboratorio de danza del Auditorio de Tenerife – y el grupo invitado White Horse, presentan la creación colectiva de 2011:
En Together todos siguen la misma tarea, todo el tiempo. La obra investiga el impacto físico de las utopías colectivas, la necesidad de sentirse más cerca de los demás y la fuerza que se genera al juntarse. Propone una colectividad llena de contradicciones, emociones y deseos que surgen de la situación actual, del aquí y ahora. Los cuerpos en movimiento se convierten en sismógrafos de lo más intimo y lo más universal que puede unirnos con otros cuerpos.
El espectáculo contará con una exposición sobre el proceso creativo del proyecto, que se presentará en el Hall a partir de las 18.30h, y además un encuentro con los coreógrafos y bailarines, después de la función en la Sala de Cámra, en el que se desvelará el proceso creativo del proyecto.

In November 2010 White Horse taught two workshops in Bogota and Montevideo. In the workshops Maria, Xavier and Chris explored physicalities of devotion and surrender with both semi-professional and professional dancers/choreographers. The workshops served as laboratory and research playground for White Horse’s new group performance about religion GROUPIES which will premiere at HAU theater in Berlin on October 7, 2011.
In Bogota the workshop took place at Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, where White Horse also got to perform Trip in the context of the 14th edition of the Festival Universitario de Danza Contemporánea. While in Colombia they also performed and gave a master class at the Encuentro de Danza CUERPO ABIERTO on the campus of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia in Tunja, gave a private performance at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and performed for the opening of the Festival Danza en la Ciudad at Teatro Libre in Candalaria.

Nederland schreeuwt om cultuur
Choreography ‘TRIP en masse’ in the streets of Amsterdam
On November 20 a collective cry for culture resonated throughout the Netherlands.
60 dance students of the Theaterschool (School for New Dance Development and Modern Theater Dance Department) as well as dancers of Dansgroep Amsterdam made this cry tangible for the public while performing an extract of Trip en masse in the streets of Amsterdam. A silent but potent scream on Netherland’s protest day “Nederland schreeuwt om cultuur” in reaction to severe cuts in cultural funding.
