Envelopes is a danceconcert that plays with the bonds between movement and sound within the theme of siblinghood. Choregrapher Keren Levi and musician Tom Parkinson invite their siblings (Levi’s younger sister, Reut, and Parkinson’s identical twin brother, Alex) into an interdisciplinary show that celebrates the kinship ties of blood, music and dance. Envelopes is an evening organised into three short pieces (Envelope I,II,III), each proposing a different view on the interrelation between genetics, biography and performance. Levi and Parkinson revisit their ten year creative history whilst keeping it within the family, unfolding their story one envelope at a time. Since 1997,
Keren Levi (1972, Israel) has built an international profile as a choreographer with a body of work performed in over 20 countries including Territory which won the BNG-prize and Couple-Like which is in its fourth season of touring across Europe. Her professional dancing career began in 1991 with The Kibbutz Dance Company (Israel) and she has subsequently danced with Batsheva Ensemble (Israel) Philippe Blanchard (Sweden), Sanna Myllylahti (Finland/NL), Leine & Roebana (NL), Christine Gaigge (Austria) and Club Guy & Roni (NL) among others. Levi also teaches dance and choreography in a number of festivals, institutions and companies across Europe.
Tom Parkinson (1975, UK) has developed a practice as an independent composer and musician working primarily in an interdisciplinary context. This has involved music for television, film and radio and the stage including award winning theatre and dance productions, many of which have featured live music and performance. His work has spanned installational and performance art to forward thinking pop music with the bands Summer Holiday and White Collar Weapons.
