Sharing the stage: a case study on TIJ, a choreography for Dutch professional and amateur dancers: Caroline Ribbers and Ninke Van Herpt

The main inspiration for this chapter is the production of TIJ (translated as ‘Tide’), in which six professional and eleven amateur dancers collaborated. This work was created by choreographers Stefan Ernst and Ronald Wintjens and shown during the 2005 Dutch Dance Festival in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Caroline Ribbers took part as a professional dancer and helped create the related website (www.tijdewebsite.nl) with the intent to share experiences and insights gained during this project.
