Young makers 2012

On the title ‘Location, Landscape, Theatre’, on Monday 7 November 2011 an eight-day workshop got under way, in which experienced artists and teachers discussed the possibilities and impossibilities of location-specific projects. In addition, the participants worked on brief presentations and there was space for exploration of the island and meeting the festival organisation. During the season, the participants return to the island on two occasions, for a long weekend each time, to test their ideas in the practical environment of Terschelling under the watchful eyes of artistic coaches Hans Man in ’t Veld and Jeroen van den Berg.

On Sunday, 13 November, this week of intensive work was concluded with a lunch and a presentation of the various projects to the Atelier Oerol donors.

Akwasi Ansah Akwasi Ansah Date of birth: 6 March 1988 Place of birth: Amsterdam Graduated: 2012 "I write, therefore I rap" For the atelier, I will write a song/poem at a location, and then create a performance based on this. Marieke van Veen Marieke van Veen Date of birth: 2 March 1980 Training: Theatre design/scenography Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) Graduated: 2006 The world is full of contradictions, but feels very natural. This contradiction is always present in my work. It leads to alienation in relations and perspectives. My images are dynamic, vulnerable, detailed, exploded, poetic and enigmatic. Wilhelmer van Elferink Wilhelmer van Elferink Date of birth: 9 November 1985 Place of birth: Nijmegen Graduated from the acting/theatre-maker course at Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) Together with writer Michiel Lieuwma, I form the artistic direction and am the director of Olaf-Karl & the Ladies. In my work, I look for simplification: it has to be clean. No background noise. My ideas often start off with an image. It is important for my work that language, sound, images and the body can exert an equal influence on one another as elements.		Workshop January 2012 report In the week from 23 to 28 January 2012, the participants in Atelier Oerol returned to the island to further work on their plans. They had many opportunities to search individually for locations and to further develop the starting points for the Opmaat programme. During the last weekend, the participants discussed their plans in short sessions with Ira Judkovskaja, artistic director of Tryater; Kees Lesuis, programme coordinator of Oerol; Hans Man in ’t Veld, artistic mentor for Atelier Oerol and Maurice Bogaert, artist and art history teacher at the Amsterdam School of the Arts. Maurice will remain closely involved with the Atelier throughout the season. At the end of February, there will be a feedback weekend in Amsterdam, organised in cooperation with Dasarts, the master’s degree course at the Amsterdam School of the Arts.

As one of the first to be awarded this Bachelor of Theatre, she and the rest of her graduation class won the Top Naeff award, the prize for promising talent at the Theatre School Amsterdam. In recent years, Sofie has developed as a scenographer and theatre-maker. In her (visual) concepts, she is constantly looking for stories that can be told in both form and material. In her work, she looks for ways to make that which is invisible, the underbelly of a situation or place, palpable for audiences through their senses. Marike Splint Marike Splint Date of birth: 1982 Place of birth: Rotterdam Education: philosophy at the UvA and then theatre directing at the School of the Arts at Columbia University in New York. What inspires her about working on location is the tension between reality and fiction. She is fascinated by the connection between people and places, and associated identities. Displacement and the search for something to hold on to are recurring themes in her productions.
		Ilmer Rozendaal Ilmer Rozendaal Date of birth: 27 April 1987 Place of birth: Amsterdam (grew up in Groningen) Training: Direction, Maastricht Theatre Academy Graduated: 2011 I graduated with the production Medea, a location-specific theatre project for which I was awarded the Ton Lutz directing award. My latest production, Thousand-yard Stare, was set in the open air around a bunker at the former military air base in Soesterberg – a monologue by a soldier who is trying to forget the past.		Gertjan Biasino Gertjan Biasino Date of birth: 11 February 1988 Place of birth: Aalst (East Flanders) Education: Master’s degree in Audiovisual Art, Experimental Film and Media Art Graduated: 2010 What I am making for Atelier Oerol is part of the project “No. 10”, which is all about rituals. Before, people used rituals to try to get to grips with uncontrollable, unfathomable nature. What role can a ritual still play? What was/is the use of the illusion of control given by a ritual? How can the light in the night on Terschelling be the guiding element in a ritual?
