English summary
From 1983 until 1991 the American born dancer/choreographer Bob Foltz surprised the Dutch danceworld with unknown dynamic dance with a high quality of technique with a dosis of humor and dance pleasure. After eight years, 8 productions, including more then 20 successfull choreographies, he chose for his other passion garden architecture.
After 14 years of gardening Foltz decided to bring out a production again as choreographer and dancer with members of his original group Foltz + Company. The premier of 'Reoccurrence' in the Grand Theatre, Groningen The Netherlands, was again such an success that Foltz decided to continue what was closest to his heart, choreography and dance.
“A performance that immediately sticks in your memory. A world in itself, but recognisable and very close-by”
(Dagblad van het Noorden, 3/10/2006)
In his newest production 'Mothers, Lovers, a few Friends and a Dog' choreographer and dancer Bob Foltz chooses Love as central theme.
In two duets and a trio Bob Foltz, Juliëtte van Ingen and Dries van der Post search and uncover different aspects of love. Bob Foltz: 'For me love is the power which provides cohesion between people, but also an energy required to make changes.'
Mothers, Lovers .... is an exploration of love in its most original form, that of a son for his mother, but also of love for the unknown, for the world, for life. Last but not least, this new production shows the hilarity of love.
Like the recent performances - Scenic Route (2008), Reoccurrence (2006/2007) - Mothers, Lovers ... is characterised by a surprising combination of dynamic dance, moments of meditative stillness and Foltz's abstract humor. The ripened dancers, who have aged together through their dancing careers, increase the impact of the performance.
After the premier (6 november 2009) the new production will tour The Netherlands and abroad in two periods: Fall/Winter 2009 and Fall 2010.
