Bho is the latest offering of the rising Amsterdam/Baarn-established contemporary dance group Samadhi Dance Company. Bho, Sanskrit for ‘Hey, you’, speaks to human experiences and relationships within the world and its body. Bho is a spontaneous, intimate encounter in which both dancer and spectator become intentionally drawn into the human experience through the use of language, purposeful music and playful, expressive dancing. This dance production is played out by four energetic and charismatic dancers: Vraja Sundari Keilman (the Netherlands), Ilaria Angelicchio (Italy), Annlydie Groenen (Belgium), and Rasarani Keilman (the Netherlands).
They will be carried by the music of Thomas Newman, Imogen Heap, Air and Samadhi’s favorite composer, Nitin Sawhney. The performance will be complimented by several art film projections created by the acclaimed Levina Tameris (the Netherlands), Lars Steenhoff (the Netherlands) and a collaborative film by Samadhi dancer and choreographer Vraja Sundari Keilman with Pablo Larrea (Chile).
Bho premieres 6 May 2010 at Podium Mozaïek in Amsterdam with additional performances at The HUB Amsterdam and RASA Theater in Utrecht.
Samadhi Dance Company distinguishes itself by collaborating with artists of different art disciplines; namely musicians, film and and other visual works. Samadhi DC combines traditional as well as contemporary and urban/jazz Western dance techniques infused with ancient Vedic-inspired Indian and Eastern movements which brings about a new modern style. Specially selected music has a major influence on the content of Samadhi DC’s performances and helps to combine these talents and strengths to create vibrant multi-disciplinary productions.
