OFFsessions#7 coming up
Sat 21/06 @korzotheater
This session is a special one for a few reason.
It’s part of Just Peace Festival and it’s the last session of the season.
We will be examining the human need for systems. As people we constantly fluctuate between our desire for individuality and freedom and our need for strict social structures. We will look at the interplay between these opposing dynamics through the lens of choreography and movement. Amos and the dancers will share insights from their own practice as well as invite the audience to question, experience and reflect.
Just Peace Festival | June 12–26 in The Hague
This June, The Hague transforms into a vibrant stage for peace,
justice, and connection. From dialogues and debates to
exhibitions, movie nights, music, and dance, the Just Peace
Festival brings together citizens, artists, experts, policymakers —
and YOU — to explore the power of peace and justice in action.
Part of the city-wide Road to Summit programme, this two-week
festival invites you to engage, learn, share, and be inspired by
the diverse voices shaping a more just world — right here in The
Hague.

OFFsessions #6 moving with information
We invite you to the sixth edition of OFFsessions in which we are diving deeper into the notion of ‘information’. What is information, and what does it mean in the context of dance? What is the relationship between information, language and choreography? How do we use and share information to communicate through our bodies?
Come join us where we work
let’s explore, reflect, move and question.
Option to combine with movement class 10:30h
How do you move through the world?
Dance and movement are amazing ways to explore our humanity and think with our bodies. Observing, feeling, questioning, playing… How do you move through the world?
OFFprojects and Korzo present ongoing encounters between contemporary dance and students from The Hague. We want to meet you and exchange ideas and sensations.
OFFprojects exists for 10 years now! From where we’re standing, that went very fast.
Check out the 10 main productions we made in 10 years on our instagram @offprojects. You can find reels to all of them under the 10 years OFF Highlight.
We had a wonderful celebration in May at Korzo Theater with a show of PART. This felt very special as this theater is where we had our first premiere OFFline all those years ago.
More to come 🙂
Here’s a small fragment of OFFline (such babies 🙂
We are very excited to announce:
So Far
@ The Grey Space In The Middle, Den Haag
20-23 December
A four-day event combining an exhibition with a performance program.
So Far is part retrospective, part experimental space and part social gathering. A four-day event that combines an exhibition with a performance program.
The ongoing exhibition will include a collection of OFFprojects’ photo, video and installation work. The changing evening programs will consist of performances, research demonstrations and live music, with every evening a different theme.
We are collaborating with like minded artists Gosse de Kort and Leo Scarin to make this event happen.
Just Once, our yearly event to open up our process to you.
Halfway through the creation of our new performance Songs And Silences, we want to share the work-in-progress, the questions and conversations that guide us with you.
Excerpts of choreography, live music, live experiments and we’ll also be interviewing Robert Neugarten, a translator with a specialty in music books and biographies. He has translated books by and about the likes of Bono and Elton John, and most recently he translated Bob Dylan’s new book The Philosophy Of Modern Song.
We will be speaking with Robert about the role of songs in our society as well as about the similarities between translating and dancing.
This is a very nice compliment for the end of the year: PART was chosen as one of five best performances of 2022 by national newspaper Het Parool. Thank you 🙂
“An excitingly constructed quest that begins in the dark, in an uncanny sound decor, culminates in a flowing group choreography to Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifteenth String Quartet. Choreographer Amos-Ben-Tal, sound artist Salvador Breed and the string players of the Ragazze Quartet disassemble the composition to gloriously reassemble it before the eyes and ears of the audience.” – Het Parool
We are happy to share with you that we’ll have the premiere of our new production PART at Amare, Den Haag on 7&8 Oct. ___PART is an exciting new collaboration with, the Ragazze Quartet and sound designer Salvador Breed. A performance in which dance, the beautiful music of Beethoven and advanced sound technology merge into an ‘immersive’ sensory experience around the theme of emptiness and fragmentation.
