Sketches/Notebook is a stage event in which various art disciplines meet and melt in a search for interdisciplinary collaboration. The project was established in January during a residence in HAU Hebbel am Ufer, the Berlin theatre where the Belgian Annemie Vanackere is the artistic director. In Sketches/Notebook dancers, visual artists and a musician share the space, their passions and skills to surround the audience with a wondrous world of light, music, materials and movement. A series of rough sketches and a thorough investigation are presented in an open space filled with actions, reduced to their essential characteristics. Sketches/Notebook playfully challenges the imagination : embrace the darkness, wave your arms and change the direction of the wind.
