a soloperformance of and by Frans Poelstra

Mental coach: Robert Steijn

a solo of an artist in an identity crisis. short improvisations circling aroud the black hole of having no inspiration

How far can you go in sharing your thoughts with the public, especially when you have doubts about making art? Frans Poelstra puts himself on the ‘sofa’ and opens up his way of thinking, dangerously encircling a zero point of no return. In the meantime he has the task to improvise on very little material - and still he does create magical moments…“ Nowadays when people talk about dance improvisation they talk a lot about ‘real-time composition’ and ‘being in the moment’, as if these are the keys to a well-made improvisation performance. I would be so happy if I could manage to do unreal-time composition and not be in the moment.”
