Join us for a signing and chat with award winning author, Heather Clark. She’ll be discussing her new novel, The Scrapbook. A complex look at the aftershocks of WW2 that still affect relationships, families and our sense of self, even today. Based on the real life wartime scrapbook of Clark’s GI grandfather, The Scrapbook is a fascinating, personal novel about the traumas of the past and their impact on the present. Heather Clark will be interviewed by Julie Phillips. About The Scrapbook: From the award-winning author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath, a stunning debut novel: the story of an intense first love haunted by history and family memory, inspired by the startling WWII scrapbook of Clark’s own grandfather, hidden in an attic until after his death. The traumas of the past and the aftershocks of fascism echo and reverberate through the present in this story of a life changing seduction. Harvard, 1996. Anna is about to graduate when she falls hard for Christoph, a visiting German student. Captivated by his beauty and intelligence, she follows him to Germany, where charming squares and grand facades belie the nation’s recent history and the war’s destruction. Christoph condemns his country’s actions but remains cryptic about the part his own grandfather played. Anna, meanwhile, cannot forget the photos taken by her American GI grandfather at the end of the war, preserved in a scrapbook only she has seen. As Anna travels back and forth to Germany to deepen her relationship with the elusive Christoph, her perspective is powerfully interrupted by chapters that follow both of their grandfathers during the war. One witnesses the plight of Holocaust victims in the days after liberation and helps capture Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest, while the other fights for Nazi Germany. Their fragmented stories haunt Anna and her lover two generations later—and may still tear them apart. Not a “World War Two novel” in the traditional sense, The Scrapbook delivers a consuming tale of first love, laced with a backstory of dark family legacies and historical conscience.

RHINO DANCE MARATHON 30 jaar de kracht en kwetsbaarheid van het intuïtieve lichaam Op 10 en 11 juli opent Space for Dance Art haar deuren voor een avontuurlijke avond: de Rhino Dance Marathon. Een beweeglijk parcours van dans, beeld, tekst, klank en herinnering – opgebouwd uit drie decennia danspraktijk van Emio Greco en Pieter C. Scholten. Don(na) Quichot geeft het startsein met een muzikale interventie. Wat volgt is een levend vlechtwerk van scènes, beelden en lichamen die in wisselende constellaties opduiken, verdwijnen en opnieuw verschijnen. Klassiekers uit dertig jaar EG | PC komen opnieuw tot leven. Je herkent flarden uit Bianco, Extra Dry, One (Bolero), Conjunto di Nero, Rimasto Orfano, Hell, Teorema en The Sopranos, uitgevoerd door dansers van het huidige ICK-Ensemble, ICK-Next énvoormalig ICK-dansers van het eerste uur! Ook is er ruimte voor nieuwe stemmen en frisse wildheid, onder meer in het werk van makers als Melisa Diktas Fernando Troya en David Feenstra, die lijnen uit het ICK verleden oppakken en naar het nu trekken. Je stuit op objecten en motieven uit eerdere voorstellingen – de poort en de boom uit Hell, de glazen bol uit In Visione, de zweetdoordrenkte jurk uit ROSSO – en je ziet filmfragmenten van de Jean Paul Gaultier-modeshow. Een VR-bril kantelt je perspectief en brengt je in een tijdloze, altijd bestaande perfomance ruimte. In de black box bots je op een AI-installatie die live reageert op de intuïtie van een danser. Elke plek opent een andere ervaring, met eigen wetten van tijd, ritme en intensiteit. De Rhino Dance Marathon is geen voorstelling, maar een beweging. Stap erin. Rhino Dance Marathon is onderdeel van Julidans Festival 2025 ________________________________________________________________________ RHINO DANCE MARATHON 30 years of the power and vulnerability of the intuitive body On July 10 and 11, Space for Dance Art opens its doors for an adventurous evening: the Rhino Dance Marathon. A dynamic journey through dance, image, text, sound, and memory – drawn from three decades of dance practice by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten. Don(na) Quichot kicks things off with a musical intervention. What follows is a living tapestry of scenes, images, and bodies that appear, disappear, and re-emerge in shifting constellations. Classics from thirty years of EG | PC are brought back to life. You’ll recognize fragments from Bianco, Extra Dry, One (Bolero), Conjunto di Nero, Rimasto Orfano, Hell, Teorema, and The Sopranos, performed by dancers from the current ICK Ensemble, ICK-Next, and former ICK dancers from the early years. There is also space for new voices and fresh ferocity – in works by creators such as Melisa Diktas, Fernando Troya, and David Feenstra, who pick up threads from ICK’s past and pull them into the now. You’ll encounter objects and motifs from earlier performances – the gate and tree from Hell, the glass sphere from In Visione, the sweat-soaked dress from ROSSO – and see film clips from the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show. A VR headset shifts your perspective and transports you to a timeless, ever-present performance space. In the black box, you’ll come across an AI installation that responds live to a dancer’s intuition. Every space opens a different experience, with its own laws of time, rhythm, and intensity. The Rhino Dance Marathon is not a performance, but a movement. Step inside. Rhino Dance Marathon is part of Julidans Festival 2025 Why the Rhino? Throughout the evening, you’ll experience both the strength and vulnerability of the body — symbolised by the rhinoceros, a recurring figure in the work of EG | PC. In Addio alla Fine, the rhino is cast off into a lifeboat, a burden to high society. But when the boat sinks, he survives together with a journalist. They travel toward the horizon: the rhino as a sign of a new beginning. Information Source: ICK Dans Amsterdam | Space for Dance Art | eventbrite

In this workshop, we will dive into the history of feminist printing and protest poster-making. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own poster for change. Together, we will explore examples of feminist protest print and posters, read excerpts, and reflect on what’s happening in the world, and in political speech in the media. Through poetic alterations and letter-writing exercises, we will engage with how language and imagery can influence activism.

The Ritual of Embrace doesn’t come from a particular culture, yet it connects to many and enacts universal human values. In this ritual, ordinary things become unordinary by welcoming the primal forces of connection through movement, voicing, and touch. Here the participants are invited to playful interactions through soft sculptures. The culmination of the performance is a collective physical and energetic massage. In this process, attention, care and trust towards ourselves and each other open up. We believe that this sensory and energetic experience, individually and as a collective, allows for deepening awareness and feeling a part of a greater whole. The ritual is supported by an electronic ancestral musical set, composed by Nag Champa.PL and live played Himalayan singing bowls. This event is supported by Amsterdam 750. Participants about the experience: Marina Kai: The first word that comes to mind is freedom. Freedom of movement, thoughts, freedom from fears and doubts, freedom from anxiety. Plus, the creators of this ritual possess the rare magical energy, in which those around them, even the most constrained and shy, enter into a silent dialogue, and break free.. This is really stronger than psychotherapy and hypnosis, it is magic. I would like as many people as possible to experience this. The body often can say more and help more than some specialists of psychology. Peter Both: The performance really gave me a feeling of connection and happiness. Of course these moments also come with some awkwardness but that feeling quickly went away. I think you really set a nice tone with all these elements of togetherness.
