White Horse is a collective founded by Julia Jadkowski, Lea Martini and Chris Leuenberger in autumn 2007. All three studied (among other places) at the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam (SNDO) and are currently working in Amsterdam, Berlin and Bern.
White Horse is interested in the collision of real bodies with idealized images and is a laboratory in which horizontal working structures are tested and reflected upon. Their work to date has dealt with a radical embodiment of social and political phenomena taken from the mass media.
After the eponymous duet White Horse – an attempt at live therapy (ITS Choreography Award 2007), they made their debut on the international scene with Trip, a piece about the parameters and kinesthetic impact of mass dynamics, euphoria and revolution. Their third production Romance, a purely physical and unconditional declaration of love to the audience, celebrates the exceptional state of falling in love - and all its side effects.
International:
The work of White Horse has been widely shown in venues and festivals in the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. Trip was a co-production of Productiehuis Frascati and Freischwimmer Festival, a platform for young theatre makers with important international venues such as Sophiensäle Berlin, Kampnagel Hamburg, Gessnerallee Zürich, brut Vienna, and FFT Düsseldorf.
White Horse currently works in close collaboration with Frascati Amsterdam, Hebbel am Ufer Berlin and Dampfzentrale Bern.
