dare to let go
‘The wow-factor of their virtuosity, the precise control of musicality and the inescapable humanity of the bodies involved, make these dance forms particularly fit to negotiate between abstract and material worlds’
A New Dawn is an innovative performance concept devised by percussionist DOMNIQ, combining visual art, live electronic music and dance in a modular format that allows flexibility of content, according to each venue.
Its three expandable sections – Individuality, Connection and Collectivity – provoke existential questions in both artists and audiences about the choices we make, developing them in a thrilling multi-sensory experience.
DOMNIQ has collaborated with dancer REDO and percussionist-producer Binkbeats, and invites new collaborators with each performance, including local artists. Previous performances include at Birds of Paradise Festival, Apples & Olives Festival, Ecstatic Music, Onderzeebootloods, Dutch Dance Days 2022 and Tromp Percussion Festival.
‘Our creative challenge is to have a structure to the programme, but to dare to let go and leave it open to the moment and the energy of the hall. For me, that’s what art – and life – is about’
