Scherzo

I dance in my head. I move and jump and pirouette, while the tempo increases.

It’s a bridge between the countless hours of silent thought, and the uncomfortable act of actual physical movement. It breaks downward spirals and other thought-traps.

A faster pace, that takes you by the hand, past all the things that seem to require contemplation. You skip and jump, and all is well.

In 2023 I created a body of work in collaboration with the composer Janneke Moes. Our work, titled “A Whisper of Hope” consisted of my work and Janneke’s multiple choir composition. “A Whisper of Hope” was performed on December 9 and 10, 2023 in Zeist and Amersfoort (The Netherlands). You can watch and listen to it here.
