Gui B.B at the [8:tension] Podcast

Today’s guest is Gui B.B, who’s work I Have Such a Horrible Voice was invited to this years [8:tension] Series. 

Gui talked with me about precarity. How easily one can get in debt and what this does to a person. She talked about starting a lot of things but not finishing them, about taking risks and the blurry area between life and art.

Adam Russell-Jones at the [8:tension] Podcast

Adam Russell-Jones is our guest this week at [8:tension] Podcast! His solo Release the hounds was invited to this years [8:tension] Series. 

Adam told me about his transition from being a ballet dancer in big companies to making his own work as independent choreographer, about the attraction as well as danger of dancing until complete exhaustion. How the collaboration with musician Moritz Haas evolved and what a drunk stranger on the U8 in Berlin has to do with his piece.

Almud Krejza was talking with Adam during ImPulsTanz Festival 2025.

Mélissa Guex at the [8:tension] Podcast

This week it's Mélissa Guex, who is featured in our [8:tension] Podcast! Her work DOWN (full album) was invited to this year’s [8:tension] Series. 

She talked about her fascination for big crowds. About the magic of instant connection and how she met the drummer Clement Grin, with whom she created the piece DOWN. How she sometimes prefers speaking with her body to speaking with her mouth. And the importance of warming up and accepting downs.

Almud Krejza was talking with Mélissa during ImPulsTanz Festival 2025.

Welcome Bau

Our new partner in Amsterdam is Bau! 

Earlier this year we unfortunately had to say goodbye to Veem House – due to the complete cut of national fundings the production house had to close. Bau steps in for them.
