Workshop: Nymphs Creative Intensive at HUIS Conny Janssen Danst
On November 11, 12 and 13 we open the doors of HUIS Conny Janssen Danst to a special experience: the three-day Nymphs Creative Intensive in which dancers are invited to step inside the heart of an artistic process.
Niek is currently creating new work for his company. This intensive serves as a research project: he will be drawing inspiration from the early concepts of his upcoming creation Until Dawn in which he explores themes around night-life extravaganza versus the sobriety of the morning after.
Unlike a regular workshop or class, the format of this intensive mirrors the rhythm and focus of an actual creation period — giving participants the chance to explore, dive deeper and grow within a process that usually unfolds behind closed doors.
The aim of the Nymphs Creative Intensive is development for everyone involved: by keeping the group of dancers small (up to 15 dancers), every participant receives space, attention and the chance to truly co-investigate movement and creation. To keep the group focused and balanced, participation is through application. Please note that this is not an audition, rather a way to ensure that the collective energy of the group supports the depth of the process. If the applications exceed available spots, Niek will make a careful selection.
Dates: November 11, 12 & 13
Time: daily from 16:00 to 20:00h
Price (for 3 days): €60
Deadline to apply: Monday, Oct 27
The application deadline has passed.

Double Bill No Strings Attached and Sabbath at Stadsschouwburg Utrecht
Enchanting rituals and bungee cords
Sabbath (Niek Wagenaar’s Nymphs) - Beneath the dense canopy, in the mystical glow of the full moon, three figures come together for an enchanting ritual. Far from the norms of society, a play of light and darkness unfolds, a macabre counter-clockwise dance fueled by diabolical energy. Here is the Sabbath – a night of magic, mystery and transformation. Behold the Sabbath, where boundaries blur and magic is in the air. Enter at your own risk, for when night falls, the witch awakens.
In this double bill a work in progress version of Sabbath is presented. The official premiere of Sabbath will be on the 31st of May at Karavaan Festival in Heiloo.
No Strings Attached (Collectief MAMM) - Two dancers battle gravity and their bungee cords. Determined to gain control. They sabotage each other, challenge each other, give up and start again. Constantly measuring themselves against the other: who can be stronger, faster, slower or softer? But can you use a setback to your advantage?
This double bill is curated by Jasper van Luijk (SHIFFT).
Boy at Barker Theatre, Turku (Finland)
In their world that’s dreamy and dazed, watch a singular performer boldly take the stage as he tries to make sense of what is within and without. During Boy, choreographer Niek Wagenaar embarks on a deeply personal and vulnerable journey of reflecting his innermost world. In a fully improvised score, an ethereal yet dynamic physical language mirrors the self as the performer passes contrasting stages of grinding self-exploration and meditative transcendence. As a solo response to his award-winning debut Nymphs, which was created for an ensemble of five dancers, Boy explores the crises of identity, non-conformity and masculinity.
Boy will premiere at Barker Theatre in Turku, Finland on October 9th, alongside new work from their in-house choreographer Evgeny Kostyukov. Tickets will come available soon.
