Info

›GRIND‹ is a cooperation between choreographer Jefta van Dinther, lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen, and sound designer David Kiers.Inspired by the principle of synaesthesia - the synchronisation of several physically-separated areas of sensitivity into one sensory impression – they have put together the separate components of sound, bodies and light in a performance that challenges perception and attempts to override the singularity of the senses. Using a masterly composition of simple elements, the three artists create a deeply-effective machinery: pulsing light effects, relentless beats of dark electronic sounds and the body of the performer condense on stage into an all-encompassing sensation that leads to a complex total experience as opposed to differentiated perception.

Jefta van Dinther is a choreographer and dancer working between Amsterdam, Stockholm and Berlin. He grew up in Sweden, after which he moved to the Netherlands and graduated from the Amsterdam School of the Arts (MTD) in 2003.
