This is a short compilation of a workshop by Meraki Dance Collective at Dance More Studio in Hanoi, Vietnam. By the founders of Meraki Dance Collective Liam O'Callaghan and Loura Sita van Krimpen. In the video, you see a speeded-up walkthrough of the elements we touched in this 90-minute workshop. The main focus was on floorwork and improvisation. We truly had a great time working with these talented urban dancers and are looking forward to re-connect and dance with them soon again! ''Meraki style'' floorwork is where modern dance floorwork and breakdance meet, in this workshop we offered the students a taste of what this means to us and explored the different connections, dynamics, and flow.

This was the second time Meraki Dance Collective was invited to join the crew of the International Youth Arts Festival. Watch the snippet to gain a taste of the festivities. This 2019 edition was held in various locations throughout Macau. It was an honor for us to be part of the festival once again. A special thanks to Rebecca Yang from Rebecca Art to invite us. Besides judging the dance contestants, we also provided a masterclass and did a unique improvisation performance with a selection of the other judges.

To celebrate the 70-year foundation of the New China, Meraki Dance Collective was invited to perform together with duo Wu Qian & Zhu Borui from Nanning's very own Contemporary Dance Company GuGuWu on a famous Chinese song which translated means ''Vine and Tree''. The moral of the lyrics of the song portrays how a couple, like vines and trees, are always intertwined and not separated. The stage was phenomenal, stretching (at least 30 meters) over the local mingehu lake. Everyone was welcome to come and watch the show (which consisted of multiple cross-cultural programs) and it was live broadcasted on the internet.

Dankbaar! Soms loopt het leven net even zo dat je iemand tegenkomt, een praatje, een knuffel en dat daar dan iets uitrolt wat je nooit had durven dromen. Dat was wat er gebeurde vorig jaar, bij een picknick (of all places), waar ik @jdikkie na jaren weer tegenkwam. Nog steeds dankbaar voor die 5 minuutjes, want dat is inmiddels uitgegroeid tot zoveel meer dan dat. Jordy, samen met @vincentdankelman & @theaterwerkplaats_tiuri maken de wereld een stukje mooier met hun prachtige kunst!..Hier een snapshot van de bijzondere repetitieperiode vorig jaar, van No Bodies 2.5 - HUBCLUB versie...En volgen deze makers, want hun werk wil je niet missen @jdikkie @vincentdankelman @theaterwerkplaats_tiuri ...
