	Photo August Swietkowiak	Nude Choreographer Pia Meuthen in action during the creative process for her new performance ‘Nude’: ‘experience’ it at her public rehearsal in Eindhoven on 26 June. A unique opportunity for new and experienced professionals to witness the dancers and choreographer lose themselves in the creative process and achieve their results through blood, sweat, and tears. We are referring to the performance that will premiere in Tilburg on 1 October to go on a national tour. This is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss. Watch the celebrated dance maker Meuthen drawing every last thing out of her dancers to be able to tell her own story through their movement language, expression, and inspiration, based on the book ‘Tussen een persoon’ by Esther Gerritsen.

With our partners from Tilburg City of Dance we have compiled a varied programme with dance performances, masterclasses and workshops, a ‘dance guerrilla’, dance parades, a dance gala and so much more. A week of watching dance, experiencing it and taking part in it. Check out the complete programme.

Aside from offering you all the information about the programme for the Dance Week, it will also form the backdrop for three dance duologues. Arts journalist Rinus van der Heijden will be moderating three conversations between choreographers and artists from other disciplines. Come and see them.... (ducth website) Show you best moves Every day at 4.00 pm you can come and watch, or show off your own best dance moves at ‘Show your best moves’: from zumba to ballroom, from breakdance to salsa. Kleine hapjesbar Artist and restaurateur Jan Hein van Melis has housed his mobile dance house inside the mobile dance house, which in itself is reason enough to stop by.?

Last year, Joost Vrouenraets won the 2008 award for young and up-and-coming talent at the Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht. This performance will consist of two parts. Five represents the ratio, thought, the mind; it deals with the rituals in people’s lives. MoonBoards represents the emotional side of man. For this part, Joost Vrouenraets has taken his inspiration from the moon and its ability to evoke widely differing reactions in people.
