Arno Schuitemaker
If You Could See Me Now

Award-winning Dutch choreographer Arno Schuitemaker is renowned for mesmerizing works which generate a unique empathy between performers and audience. A highly physical, rigorous integration of movement, music and light, If You Could See Me Now features three performers who take a chilled-out club dance and reinvent it through incessant movement, rhythm and endurance.

From turmoil to ecstasy, from a meticulous build-up to its fracturing, the performance goes right to the core of the body and its response to change. How do we keep going and move forward? With deep longing and emotions underlying its apparent simplicity, this singular work urges us to take another, closer look.
