This year, Adam Khazhmuradov, Hendrickx Ntela and Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit have been selected for the annual artist-in-residence programme. For one month, they will be given the opportunity to<\/strong> <strong><\/strong><strong>to explore, exchange ideas and share their work with the public. During<\/strong> <em><strong>Welcome to Our Guesthouse<\/strong><\/em> <strong>they share their works-in-progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Room for development<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For new and emerging artists, the opportunity to experiment is essential. Theater Rotterdam therefore does not commission artists to present a finished product, but instead offers them time, facilities and artistic freedom to explore, exchange ideas and try out new forms. The fact that there is such a great demand for this is also evident from the nearly 320 applications received for the open call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artistic coordinator Erik Kaiel: \u201cThe number of creators we\u2019ve reached through the open call is fantastic, but at the same time it sends a clear message: spaces like this are desperately needed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New creators<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, you\u2019ll be introduced to three artists, each with their own artistic practice. The Brussels-based Krump choreographer Hendrickx Ntela explores how emptiness can make way for gentleness and nuance. Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit is a vibrationalist who builds DIY musical instruments. Using sound and frequencies, he creates immersive performances exploring memory, trauma and colonial consciousness. Rotterdam-based dance maker Adam Khazhmuradov uses bodies and light to decolonise our experience of theatre and make space for neurodivergent ways of perceiving the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A night to discover what\u2019s next<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Welcome to Our Guesthouse<\/em> is the artist-in-residence programme through which Theater Rotterdam provides a platform for new developments in the arts. This year, too, the programme is presented as a \u2018track\u2019: TR8 on William Boothlaan is transformed into a vibrant landscape full of new work, surprising installations, contextual programmes and encounters. Following a theatrical route, the audience moves through the building, from one creator to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><strong>Practical information<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>Dates: Wednesday 14 to Saturday 17 October\u00a0<br \/>Start time: 7.30 pm (doors open at 7.00 pm)\u00a0<br \/>Venue: Theater Rotterdam, TR8\u00a0<br \/>Address: William Boothlaan 8, 3012 VJ Rotterdam\u00a0<br \/>Website:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tr.nl\/guesthouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tr.nl\/guesthouse<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Khazhmuradov, Hendrickx Ntela en Ciro Monoarfa Goudsmit presenteren van 14 t\/m 17 oktober hun works-in-progress tijdens Welcome To Our Guesthouse.
