RECENT PROJECTS
Knots
An experimental dance film which was initiated by SpOp as a collaboration in times of Covid. The idea was communicated with drawings, pictures, text and music pieces by Dirk Bruinsma. Dealing with connectivity, entanglement and barriers.
The material was sent from Rotterdam to Belgrade. Once in Belgrade video material was shot with the choreographies and improvisation by the talented Ana Obradović, Jovana Grujić and Nemanja Bošković. The camera work by Jovana Milovanović and Marko Segedinčev was then again sent back to Rotterdam and has undergone a CGI and editing treatment which has resulted in the final Knots.
Lately performed in WORM, Rotterdam
screeing at Kino Klub, Split, Croatia
on February 23/23 at Splendor, Amsterdam (with Monoták)

Culture Prize South-Holland
Prins Bernhard Cultural Foundation
Delighted to have been chosen for the culture prize which is being awarded every two years. The category media art and digital culture is featured in this round. The jury was especially impressed- they wrote- by Knots and Alterations: the way such topics as connectivity and the impact of digital communication are represented.
The event took place April 1st 2022, at the Rotterdam Theater Schouwburg.
