Choreographers Antonia Steffens and Elisa Zuppini, alumni of the SNDO co-founded by Pauline de Groot, share excerpts from their preliminary research in De Groot's archive. Fransien van der Putt talks about her ongoing quest together with De Groot, to both mine and preserve her oeuvre contained in countless documents and recordings, to share and pass on to future generations.

Beppie Blankert and Carolien Dokter talk about their desire to re-stage Dubbelspoor. The piece was created in close collaboration with the recently deceased composer Louis Andriessen. The piece also plays a special role in Blankert's oeuvre. Technology, photography, music, dance and text come together. How do the two dance makers - young at heart but with significantly older bodies - deal with choreography conceived more than 40 years ago? What does it bring to the surface, where can they recover and what do they leave behind?

Javier López Piñón talks about his extensive research, both on paper and online and in the studio, into what is known about the Senegalese dancer François Féral Benga, who caused a furore in Paris during the Interbellum, including as Josephine Baker's dance partner at the Folies Bergères.

A new volume in the series Conversations with Makers will also be presented. Fransien van der Putt interviewed Nita Liem about over forty years of a career in dance.

Prof Maaike Bleeker will give a lecture on the importance of archives for dance and forms of theatre as an introduction to all this.
