O. Lab: I was old before I was young

In search of solace and self-love for your body

Teddy Shouldn't Smoke (NL)

The Rotterdam collective Teddy Shouldn’t Smoke researches why we don’t treat our bodies with more kindness in, I was old before I was young. We all grow older and one day will have to face the consequences. That is a difficult idea to get our heads around, for dancers in particular as well as for others who work with their bodies. Dancer Marijke de Vos and musician Laura Nygren (Show Pony) take you along as that realisation sinks in and they are trying to find a soothing, caring way to deal with this. Young or old, we all have a body and would do well to love it more.

Research question: How can we handle the vulnerabilities of our own body?

About O. Lab
O. Lab offers the audience a peak into the theatre makers’ rehearsal rooms. Something that is normally reserved for the select few… Artists will share their research questions. As the visitor, you are invited to watch and express your valuable opinions about prototypes and works in progress. O. Lab in WORM is one big creative space and you will be sitting in the front row as the processes unfold!

“As an audience at O. Lab, you are close to the creative process of the artists. This way, as a visitor, you get a first look at a project that is still to be developed and you get into the head of the creators.” – Guy Coolen, artistic director O.

“Uncompromisingly experimental, yet seductively accessible. Like Björk on a good day.”
