Technique:

Neel integrates physical theatre with modern dance and African
dance. Her own dance style becomes through the years more visible.

The lessons are accompanied by percussionist Lamine N'Diaye Rose.

Dance Parade 2009 in Den Haag i.h.k.v. Holland Dance Festival on Sunday the 1st of November was a big succes. Above you can see the beautiful costumes. The focus of the Parade was 'Future'. Neel integrated within her choreography movements of insects and robots, because she thinks that the instinctive side of human beings and lack of individuality will go hand in hand in the future. She called her piece 'The brave new world'. Like always Neel's piece has a very specific kind of energy within the Dance Parade.

Here you can read a Blog Post on FestivalPreviews about it!

In her working with people, Neel pays attention to:
- authenticity of movement and expression
- psychic presence inside the body that moves
- transparency of the individual
- flow and grace, which according to Neel includes training in
being ugly.

Neel studied at the theatre-academy in Maastricht and also she
studied dance in London at the Laban institute for Movement and
Dance. For years she had lessons in African dance. She was a
performer at theater Beest en Zoo and she formed with others the
dance/theatre company Rhijnsburger, de Jong en Wynn. She gives
dance classes for 20 years now. Senegalese percussionists accompany
her during the classes. For her solowork see: page performance F.L.O.W..
