The image depicts a serene morning scene. A person, likely Sindre Jean-Baptiste Baele, is shown waking up in a softly lit room. Gentle sunlight filters through the window, filling the space with a warm golden glow. The composition emphasizes calmness, comfort, and the peaceful transition from sleep to wakefulness.

Jean-Baptiste Baele: Good Morning, Sindre

DossierResource

A visually powerful dance performance about universal experiences of loss, memory, and longing

Three people are dancing on a dark stage. In the foreground, a woman sits on the floor wearing a long, light-colored dress, with her arms raised in an elegant pose. Behind her, two people stand and move a large yellow fabric that flows above and around their bodies, creating a strong sense of motion. The lighting highlights the dancers and the fabric, while the background remains black.

DanceAble Symposium 2026: Inclusive by Design

Conference, Show

Tuesday 10 February 2026, Amare Studio, Den Haag, Netherlands

Three performers are arranged frontally on a stage, standing and sitting still as if posing for a formal portrait. A deep red velvet curtain fills the background, creating a theatrical setting. At the center, one performer sits in a wheelchair, facing forward, with hands resting together on their lap. They wear a light blue shirt, a warm-toned checkered skirt, orange tights, and dark sneakers. On either side of them stand two performers, both upright and composed. The performer on the left wears a dark blue long-sleeved jumpsuit with a light belt, arms relaxed at their sides. The performer on the right wears a brown jacket, a light shirt, and a green skirt, standing with feet firmly on the ground. To the far left of the scene, slightly separated from the group, a small wooden table holds a lit candle and a bowl of fruit.

Skånes Danseteater: MAY FALL

DossierResource

What we reveal. What we hide. The fear of falling. MAY FALL is about lowering your guard, daring to fall, and risking your heart. It is about love.

Teatr Klucz: AMOROSO

Show

March 03, 2026 Zamek Culture Centre in Poznań (Poland)

Two performers share a close physical composition on a dark, empty stage. One performer lies on their back on the floor, facing upward, with their head turned slightly to the side. They wear a short-sleeved patterned top and dark trousers. Their legs are bent and lifted, resting across the seat and frame of a wheelchair. The second performer is positioned within the wheelchair, their body arched backward so that their upper back and head extend beyond the seat, hovering close to the floor. Their arms hang loosely, palms open. They wear a long-sleeved dark top and textured trousers. The wheelchair stands at the center of the image, acting as a shared structure that connects both bodies. The performers’ positions create a continuous line, balancing weight, contact, and stillness. The background is black, and the floor is a smooth grey, drawing attention to the bodies, their connection, and the quiet intensity of the moment.
