Grip (4+) - Carli Gellings

Our imagination is endless. One time it takes us to the most wonderful places, the other time to slightly less pleasant places. Sometimes we even get a little scared of our own fantasy. In Grip, a dancer enters into dialogue with the set. Together they create a landscape in which balance, control, and surrender constantly shift. Along colors, shadows, and movements, the performance shows how powerful our thoughts can be. Sometimes they make us feel stronger, sometimes they make us wobble. Grip is a visual and dance performance about the different roles of our fantasy. Carli Gellings graduated in 2015 as a dancer at the Fontys Hogeschool for the Kunsten Tilburg. She performed with, among others, Karolien Verlinden/Tuning people, fABULEUS, LAP vzw, Cie Woest, and Theater De Spiegel. She was a co-founder of BATMAT in 2019 and made the acclaimed performance We go places at fABULEUS & seven Limburg cultural centers (including CCHA) in 2021. Carli is also more often a guest as a resident in our workspace HET LAB. choreography & dance Carli Gellings / movement advice & final direction Charlotte Goesaert / dramaturgy Liesbeth De Clercq / scenography & lighting design Michiel van Cauwelaert / assistance scenography Jarne Bossaerts / sound design Adriaan De Roover / costumes Joëlle Meerbergen / co-production fABULEUS / in collaboration with c o r s o, BUDA, De Veerman, DE MAAN & C-mine / © David Jacobs carligellings.be
