Michelle Ettlin & Mona De Weerdt Choreographers at Work!
The documentary series Choreographers at Work! is dedicated to creation processes and working practices in contemporary dance.
#1: Cie Moost / Marc Oosterhoff
The first portrait in the documentary series Choreographers at Work! focuses on the choreographer Marc Oosterhoff and gives an insight into the creative process of his latest work, Lab Rats (2021). In the past Oosterhoff has mainly created solo pieces but Lab Rats was developed in close collaboration with the acrobat and dancer Owen Winship. The camera follows them as they explore and develop a common (movement) vocabulary, negotiate their relationships on stage and try out different acrobatic tasks. The film captures the creation of this piece through its intimate, intense and humorous moments.
