Schippersenvangucht

Schippers & VanGucht is the name of the creative twosome Jellie Schippers (theatre maker and director) and Myriam Van Gucht (theatre maker and scenographer). Together with Dorine Cremers (business manager) and Joanne Mensert (creative producer) they form a collective. About Schippers & VanGucht Schippers & VanGucht creates catching performances that initiate a dialogue between generations about resourcefulness and the ability to change opinions: essential characteristics to tackle social issues. The immersive works by S & VG make it possible to freeze a moment in time and to turn over viewpoints. S & VG strikes where you least expect it. Theatrical installations, portraits and interventions are placed in everyday landscapes: we pop up in the streets, on parking lots and the little square around the corner. Through this way of presenting we try to re-write the value of a site. Unusual audience placements direct the way of viewing in such a manner that passive observation becomes impossible and turns into active participation. S & VG is located in Breda and mainly performs in (or in the vicinity of) theatres, schools and festivals in The Netherlands and Belgium, with a strong focus on the province of North-Brabant.
