Journey
At the end of a Journey comes a night with splinters of goodbyes.
We know these beginnings we know the end.
Still one loves, one pleads but still the lover always leaves.
Now remembering the times you left.
Leaving two sad empty chairs that now weep silently.
Leaving a heart full of lost whispers, a nest of memories that will take time to die in loves undying storm.
Let it go, be calm
The end will be the beginning and so we come full circle.
Where the early morning sun can rise and shine again.
KheN
Works from the Dutch choreographer Kevin Polak and the Chinese choreographer Ning Xi are often inspired and based on real daily life emotions. This is why the Chinese audience gave them a nickname "挖心人” which literally translated means (heart dig people). From their first work up till now, they have lived through different stages of life and emotions and they will keep using their own experiences to create.
Journey to the East:
Journey to the east is a story about a Dutch hero who comes to the East to seek true love based on the Chinese story Journey to the West. It is also about a Dutch dancer who found true love in China.
Is it a fairy tale, or reality? In which one do you live?
Journey to the east was created as an assignment from the Dutch Consulate in Guangdong (China) for their Orange Festival in Guangzhou.

刚刚的青年舞者计划信息发出以后，立刻就有青年舞者问我一些问题。我在这里解答一下：
1 如果面试日期在考试，无法参加怎么办？
我们设定的面试时间，是按照Kevin来中国的时间安排。但6月25日到7月5日之间我们在珠海排练。我们可以按照舞者的特殊情况，单独安排时间进行面试。尽量让每位有兴趣的舞者都有机会参与。只要赶在集训的时间之前都可以安排（集训时间在七月1日到4日。）
2 面试要求和报名方法
请关注KUN肢体艺术的官方微信，里面会有更具体的面试要求一报名方法。
3 入选名额有多少？
会在10到15人之间，根据总体舞者情况而定。
4 选拔标准
总所周知我们的作品风格不是已传统或学院派技巧为主。要求舞者能够以真诚、自然的情绪与动作结合。基础与技巧能力不必要，但不多余。对舞蹈的热情与热爱的态度是必须的。
5 一定要是大学生吗？
不一定，高中生或准大学生也可以来参加面试。或者对舞蹈极其热爱、有时间参与七月1日到5日的集训和演出的每一位舞者。
谢谢舞者们的信任与支持！我们一起尽力把舞蹈认真的玩儿起来！
Journey
