Holland Dance Festival presents big names from the international dance world. But there is also a wealth of choreographic talent in the Netherlands. Leo Spreksel, artistic director of the Korzo theater, has invited three of today’s talented choreographers to make a new work especially for the festival. They are inspired by urban dance, classical Indian dance and modern Western dance, respectively. New Talents presents an exciting spectrum of choreographic visions.

The young choreographer Jasper van Luijk has surprised many a spectator with his first piece, which he presented at Voorjaarsontwaken 2011. At the invitation of Korzo, he is now creating the duet About There & Here, about two people who follow their own path. Ruled by their doubts, memories, vulnerabilities and fears, they try to live in the here and now. That is, until their paths cross. For a short while, they walk together and are in contact with one another. About There & Here is an idiosyncratic duet about human interaction and the fleeting nature of contact.
