Anna Karenina Lambrechts in Budapest
Creative Crossroads Residency
Anna Karenina Lambrechts visits Workshop Foundation in Budapest in October.
During this residency, Anna Karenina Lambrechts continues to develop her personal movement language, drawing from her mixed identity and diverse dance background. Krump, traditional Filipino dance and contemporary dance form the foundation of her research. By weaving together and deconstructing these styles, she explores new ways of moving that transcend cultural and stylistic boundaries. Her solo From Gravity To Grace serves as an important starting point for this ongoing exploration.
From Gravity to Grace
Performance
On Thursday, 3 April 2025 Anna Karenina Lambrechts premieres her first solo From Gravity to Grace at STUK Leuven!
From Gravity to Grace is an exploration of krump – an energetic and expressive dance form in which raw and repressed emotions are expressed in a powerful and non-violent way. Anna Karenina delves into the content and dance techniques and explores what krumping means to her. The connection between the earthly and the heavenly is central in an attempt to understand her own roots, to convey, to touch a higher reality. Through krump and contemporary dance, she explores the intersection of her Filipino roots and the Western lifestyle.
