For twelve years, journalist and dance enthusiast Joost Goutziers immersed himself in the history of dance in Brabant. The result is Dwarse dansers, a thoroughly researched and vividly illustrated book about 45 years of dance in Brabant. Since the 1980s, dance makers in the region have been forging their own path.

What made this development different? Which makers and ideas shaped the history of dance in Brabant? And what does that history tell us about dance today?

Especially for Dansdagen Tilburg, Joost will guide you through this history in the space of an hour. A story filled with makers, developments and unconventional choices. And, of course, there will be plenty of room for questions and stories from the audience.
