Schweigman& Information

Schweigman& develops work together with a regular group of partners and associates- likeminded artists and practitioners as Theun Mosk and Cocky Eek - and with various artists, companies and ensembles working in different disciplines - hence the '&'. While projects are initially launched by Boukje Schweigman, there is plenty of space in the artistic process for everyone to contribute their expertise. Scenes develop from improvisations by participants. Mime artists like Toon Kuijpers and Ibelisse Guardia have been involved with Schweigman& since the start and have contributed significantly to our particular performance style, which a new generation is now developing further. Esmee Thomassen is our regular costume designer. Composers and musicians pursue their own quest on common themes. Technicians and producers pull out all the stops to achieve the impossible. Each year Schweigman& creates one new production, either site-specific on location or for the theatres and many of the productions remain available in the repertoire for touring for a few more years.
