4-ISH
January - March, 2008
4-ISH combines all of the excitement and rhythm of hip-hop and dance with the exhilaration of extreme sports, creating an entirely innovative
hybrid for the stage.

Driven by the need for speed and the desire to stretch the limits of human ability, these international thrill seekers perform
spectacular feats: world champion skaters reach for the sky as they soar off two giant quarter pipes; kung fu fanatics go head-to-head in a hilarious
videogame inspired bout; and dancing roller skaters with electrified wheels create a whirling light show on a pitch black stage. Accompanied by a
human beat box and live DJ, the fun loving, break dancing daredevils of ISH provide "a visual spectacle that flies by at breakneck speed" (GDP).

Sporen
Structured like the music of Pierre Boulez: capricious, highly formal, rich in texture, emotional and idiosyncratic, Sporen (Tracks) confronts different
movement approaches and different ideologies of the body that have become manifest in the work of Leine & Roebana.
Constantly switching between multi-layered physical counterpoint, aggressive attack, line distortion, ambiguous simplicity, visual complexity and organic
deconstruction, their movement style is as demanding as it is natural.

Sporen, by Andrea Leine and Harijono Roebana, is a choreography based on elements of their earlier work. Though the rehearsal process arose from the desire
to perform selected pieces from the past again, gradually a whole new creation took place, in which the live performance of contemporary compositions and
early music joins together with dance sections full of contrasts. However diverse, the dance and music form a natural whole, in which present and past both
elevate and counterbalance each other, creating a universe with its own internal logic.
Music has been composed specially for the piece by Kyriakides, Padding and Soundpalette. Some of the music, for example the music from Abel, Byrd and Purcell,
is performed live by Joseph Schlesinger (countertenor), Reinier van Houdt (piano), and Freek Borstlap and Ivanka Neeleman (viola da gamba).
