DANSLAB 3 offers the ultimate opportunity to get to know the newest generation of makers in contemporary dance. In this brand-new performance, exciting choreographies follow one another at a rapid pace. From the striking dance of Sellam El Achari and the compelling work of Anne Suurendonk to the brotherly collaboration of Justin de Jager & Sem Deliveyne. Before their work appears on stage, the makers introduce themselves and their work to you on video.
About the dance performance DANSLAB 3
DANSLAB is an initiative by SALLY and talent developer Via Zuid. It is the leading platform for experimentation and innovation in contemporary dance in the south of the Netherlands. Within this “lab”, emerging makers are given space to experiment with dance styles, contemporary interpretations, challenging themes and unexpected combinations. The results of this adventurous and exciting research are presented in a grand finale in the theatre. As a result, audiences at DANSLAB are the first to see the newest choreographies by emerging talent.
DANSLAB 3 presents five makers, each of whom occupies a unique position within the Dutch dance field. Young dancer and choreographer Sellam El Achari (FR) made a strong impression during DANSLAB 2 with his solo Memories and was nominated as a dancer in 2023 for a Young Swan for the most impressive dance performance in youth dance. The duo Justin de Jager (NL) and Sem Deliveyne (BE) won the SALLY Partner Award at the Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition (RIDCC) 2025 for their performance Brothers. Especially for DANSLAB 3, the two are creating a brand-new work. Anne Suurendonk is also a notable maker. She won the Innovation Prize at the Dutch Dance Days Maastricht 2024 for her work at the intersection of film, theatre and dance. The remaining names will remain a surprise for now.
