1. Work in progress, made in 2005 for the D.U.M.B.O.
dance festival in New York.



'The silence is the force underneath my actions', says
Neel about her soloperformance.

Neel de Jong works with psychic realities, which she translates into
dance and theater. Authenticity, transformation and working with the
silence are reoccuring themes in her work. 'Work in Progress' has three
parts: the ladder, the autist and the bird. All three segments have in com-
mon that the raw earthly is tightly connected with a reality that escapes
that. Every show is different, because creating here and now in the
present, plays an important role in her shows.


2. Inner Landscape, made in 2006 for the Fringe
Festival in Edinburgh.



'In that what is unfinished the individual becomes visible',
Neel de Jong

The performance has an intimate and unpolished character, with a
sense of beauty and grace of its own, whereby the public becomes
part of Neel's world: intense, fragile, sensual, wild, funny, with other
words: all feelings are embraced. The show has again three segments:
the rock-star, waiting for Godot and the philosopher. The pianst
Augusto Pirodda accompanies Neel.


3. Inner Landscape part ll, this is a changed version of 'Inner
Landscape', made in 2006 for Montenegro.


In this performance the archetype 'the queen' is added to the show
'Inner landscape' Furthermore, Neel sings a self-created song,
accompanied by Augusto on piano.


4. Moving Landscape, made in 2007 for the Fringe
Festival in Edinburgh



'I look for the crack in my soul', says Neel about her performances,
'because in that narrow space lies the beauty of human kind'.

In 'Moving Landscape' Neel explores the fragile silence and the raw
earthy power of life-force trough several archetypes. Chaos is a state
of mind she uses to create and recreate the moment. This process of
creation and destruction is a bare necessity to experience the intensity
of life itself on a higher level. The paradox in her work is that the vul-
nerability of human kind becomes more real than in daily life. The piano
player Augusto Pirodda supported her during these performances.

5. Driven, made in 2008 for the Edinburgh Fringe festival

Quote about ‘Driven’ in Three Weeks *****, Aug. 2008:
‘Neel de Jong transports us to a beautifully different world (…)
magical and profound. (….)It is like nothing you will
have seen before.
(see reviews and comments about 'Driven' )

Duration of the performance: about 30 minutes,
depending on the day’s inspiration.
