In November 2024 I was a guest at the Dokhuis to give a workshop on theatre and encounter. After the workshop I sat down with Rob van der Poel from Dokhuis and Stichting Nivoz to reflect with participants Stefan and Anke on what we had actually experienced that evening. Very interesting combination of doing first and thinking later!
What helps us to enter into dialogue with each other? What significance does the strange and the unknown play in this? Early November there was a Dokhuis dialogue evening with theatre maker Brecht Hermans: Belgian, Rotterdammer and founder of the Toneelleesclub010. He took us along and seduced us to rediscover ourselves and each other.
In this episode of Dokpraat – the podcast channel of Dokhuis – you will hear from Stefan and Anke, two participants who were surprised and delighted by the evening and the playful and theatrical forms to which Brecht invited - step by step. And of course you will also hear Brecht Hermans himself, who profiles himself as a community theatre maker and has previously collaborated with PS Theater and Babel. He is now also affiliated with Lab-Z of Theater Zuidplein and is working on a performance Samen in Zorg.
