From Rope to Bottom

We invite you to attend From Rope to Bottom, a collective performance by third-year Circus and Performance Art students.

The work explores a moment of transition: when denial no longer works and a new reality begins to take shape. It is about the step from height to ground, from uncertainty toward stability. A moment when something pushes back and says: this is where you really are now.

Through contemporary circus, movement, and ensemble work, the students explore what happens when the whole picture begins to emerge. Not from above, but from below. A place that no longer asks us to escape, but to be present.

Created in collaboration with the director Bavo De Smedt,  this performance marks an important moment in the students’ artistic journey.

Leverage

In Leverage, two women defy the balance point of a 2.5 meter long pole. The pole acts as a scale, enabling the performers to defy their physical limits, to define new hierarchies. While climbing, relying on each other and folded under and over each other, the duo is completely absorbed in their relationship. Meanwhile, the pier and chasm below them is surrounded by the ever-threatening danger of more and more raging water.

The Event

“Time can make such a difference”

We created this video as a collaboration during lockdown. It was an exercise in trying to capture our feelings of hopelessness caused by the Corona virus. We want this video to be about the necessity of coming together in order to climb higher.

“It’s impressive, this dance and acrobatic performance by TeaTime Company, and it never becomes an accumulation of tricks…,”

Boukje Cnossen
De Theaterkrant, About RIPPLE  2024

“Three sticks. Three individuals. Dozens of possibilities. Under the Le Channel tent, in front of hundreds of spectators, these juggler-acrobats propel themselves forward, taking turns swinging and turning. The sticks they use are like Chinese poles reminiscent of giant Mikado’s. We see the use of the sticks on one arm, on one hand, on one foot and even on one finger. These are the special and impressive feats performed by TeaTime Company, all with great ease.”

“The performance was delivered with precision, with care. A fine combination between the practicality of actions in circus with the ongoing transitional flow of dance.”

“Their strength lies in combining the natural with the unusual. This makes you crave more as an audience and go home full of joy.”

Nikki Rasings
Spectator at New Seeds Arnhem

“Everything was very impressive, the pace was great, plenty of surprises, good mix of skills.”

“The concentration speaks from their faces(…)when Rogerson walks triumphantly across the stage with four poles on her hands and feet like a giraffe, you can see what kind of gold TeaTime Company has in its hands…”

Caroline Verduijn
Theaterkrant, LINEAR // Festival Circolo

“These three have found their own material, namely the stick.(…)it sounds simple, but therein lies its power. The sticks are recognizable, but abstract at the same time(…)a good thing about TeaTime Company is that no story or characters have been invented, in Stick-Stok, it is purely about the game.

Technique, aesthetics and humour are present. But here too, as soon as the playing becomes more virtuosic, a piece of music starts and the whole thing becomes one beautiful picture…”
