Nelly's Locket Nelly Aman, born in Arnhem in 1934, donated her grandmother's Locket (medallion) to the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in 2021, its final destination after a long and arduous journey. The time capsule in this Locket was the inspiration for the performance “Nelly's Locket.” This performance brings together images from different periods with dance, text and music.This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, and we are once again living in a complex reality where the effects of this war are still being felt.

BITTER SWEET DANCE Bitter Sweet Dance in Amsterdam is the dance hub of choreographer Liat Waysbort. Personal stories are used as an incentive to tell a bigger story about the world around us. Urgent subjects in society run like an undercurrent through the powerful, empowering, slightly absurd, physical and multidisciplinary performances. Bitter Sweet Dance undermines clichés of age, gender and physicality, stretches definitions of beauty and makes all things human tangible. "It grabs you by the senses".
LIAT WAYSBORT Liat Waysbort started her career as a dancer and rehearsal director for Batsheva Dance Company in Tel Aviv, before coming to the Netherlands to get a Master in Choreography at CoDarts Dance Academy Rotterdam. She was a resident of Dansateliers and created work for companies such as Conny Janssen Danst, Dansgroep Amsterdam and The Meekers. She was nominated for the Award of the Most Promising Choreographer at the Dutch Dance Festival in 2012 and her work was shown on national and international festivals like Springdance (Utrecht), Dutch Dance Festival (Maastricht), Julidans (Amsterdam), rencontres- Choreographiques (Paris) and B-motion (Bassano del Grappa). In 2015 she founded the dance organisation Bitter Sweet Dance. Next to big and small stages, her work was visible in clubs, in a tea bar in Amsterdam, at TEDX and more. With Bitter Sweet Dance, she created Please me Please - The Solo, Please me Please - The Duet, Titanic, Gioia Live and now My Life in Excel.
Liat is a dedicated, open and forceful teacher who teaches - among others - at Modern Theatre Dance / Expanded Contemporary Dance at the Theatre Academy Amsterdam. She supports and coaches makers and dancers in finding their own artistic voice while expanding their awareness of their physical potential.
