ABOUT EMMA
Performer
Emma Hanekroot (Ede, 1996) graduated in 2021 from the BA Dance academy of Fontys School of Fine and performing Arts. Here she has developed herself as a choreographer, performer and writer. She is trained in the Marina Abramović method. She has performed in various works including 'Age of Rage' together with ITA ensemble, directed by Ivo van Hove and choreographed by Wim Vandekeybus, Reperformed Luminosity, Imponderabelia and work relations by Marina Abramović, 'Hypnos' and 'CIAO' by Marcel Leemann, 'U bevindt zich hier' by Dries Verhoeven, 'It takes a child to raise a village' by Corpo Maquina, '0202' by Denden Karadeniz, 'The National Chain' by Alexandra Waierstall and Rita McBride and 'A better son/daughter' and 'Mind over Matter' by Conni Trommlitz. As a performer she distuinghes herself by strong partnering skills, creativity, flexibility, theatricallity and diversity in movement qualities.
Own work
Emma was an artist in residence at LekART Culemborg which resulted in a duet 'een lichaam dat zichzelf heeft neergelegd.'
With Peeled Collective she created 'The people around us share our name', 'Yellow days, yellow haze' and Verdragend Landschap.
Emma has written theater texts, poetry and short stories for e.g Marcel Leemann, Sebastiaan Hanekroot and Conni Trommlitz.
Her book 'The Soil the Seeds' came out in 2024. This book is a collaboration between her and Sebastiaan Hanekroot (photographer and designer of the book.)
Text and photographs in this book are two autonomous works. They are based on the same theme, the two great wars of Europe. Father and daughter share the same history as it came down through the generations. Why do we keep remembering these wars? Why is it so difficult to let go? Feelings of sorrow and loss that do not belong to the authors and yet still live on in them.
Vision
Emma takes great pleasure in questioning the boundaries of dance. She likes to play with different disciplines in both her own creations as well as in her performing work. She is inspired by the physicallity of the human body. To take the body as a starting point and find the extremities of it. She is fascinated by the balance of reality and theatre. Underneath you'll find a selection of the projects that she has been part of over the past years.
