Arno Schuitemaker (Amsterdam) creates hyperphysical performances where dance, performance, influences from the visual arts, and the ethos of club culture converge. Rooted in contemporary life, his layered and meticulously crafted work receives praise for exploring themes where the intimate and the collective intersect and interact, engaging with our hyperconnected yet precarious world through the lenses of identity, togetherness, loss, perception, and transformation.
He has gained international recognition with presentations at renowned festivals and theaters in over 25 countries.
