Platform for reflection<br />
LISA<br />
and exchange<br />
Lisa is an Amsterdam-based maker’s initiative and production facility belonging to the independent<br />
dance and performance makers Nicole Beutler, Hester van Hasselt, Ivana Müller, Paz Rojo<br />
and David Weber-Krebs. Lisa also serves as a platform for reflection and artistic exchange.<br />
Ever since it was founded, lisa’s aim has been to initiate discussion. The company does this<br />
on the basis of its conviction that reflecting upon one’s own work and that of others, as well<br />
as upon developments in the world of art as a whole, is both necessary and productive.<br />
It is difficult to translate lisa’s work into words. It sometimes features dance, sometimes video.<br />
It is sometimes light-hearted, sometimes funny, and sometimes philosophical. Although all the<br />
various lisas have their own specific, well-defined theatre language, their work also displays similarities.<br />
For example, lisa productions always leave as much room as possible for the audience’s<br />
imagination. And they always pose questions, about perceived reality, for example,<br />
or the effects of theatricality.<br />
International<br />
Lisa focuses as much on the Dutch theatre world as on foreign audiences. During the last<br />
few years, lisa has performed in almost every country in Europe (England, Belgium, Germany,<br />
Spain, Scandinavia, etc). This is how things stand at the moment and little is expected to change.<br />
On request, David Weber-Krebs will for example tour Brazil with various projects. Ivana Müller<br />
is taking While We Were Holding It Together from Finland to Hungary and from Switzerland to<br />
Singapore. Nearly all lisa shows are made in co-production with foreign theatres/organizations.<br />
Ivana Müller was recently presented with the Charlotte Köhler prize, and lisa regularly receives<br />
favourable reviews at home and abroad.<br />
