DANSLAB 3 offers the ultimate chance to get acquainted with the newest generation of makers in contemporary dance. Exciting choreographies follow one another in rapid succession in this brand-new performance. From the stunning dance of Sellam El Achari and the penetrating work of Anne Suurendonk to the fraternal collaboration of Justin de Jager & Sem Deliveyne. Before their work hits the play, the makers introduce themselves and their work - on video.
DANSLAB is an initiative of SALLY and talent developer Via Zuid. It is the play for experimentation and innovation in contemporary dance in the Southern Netherlands. New makers are given room in the 'lab' to experiment with dance styles, modern interpretations, challenging themes and unexpected combinations. They present the results of this adventurous, exciting research in a grand finale in the theater. Visitors to DANSLAB are therefore the first to check the latest choreographies by new, up-and-coming talent.
THE HALL UPSIDE DOWN
The audience is also part of DANSLAB. Each performance af with the interactive "choreography experiment," which challenges the audience to create a choreography together. You are given the necessary ingredients beforehand; then it's your turn! DANSLAB 3 thus sets everyone in motion and the audience upside down.

TOPTALENT VAN NU
DANSLAB3 presents five makers, each of whom occupy a unique position within the Dutch dance field. The young dancer/choreographer Sellam El Achari (FR) impressed during DANSLAB 2 with his solo Memories and was nominated for a Jonge Zwaan in 2023 for most impressive dance achievement in youth dance. The duo Justin de Jager (NL) and Sem Deliveyne (BE) won the SALLY Partner Award during the Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition (RIDCC) 2025 for their performance Brothers. The two are creating a brand new work especially for DANSLAB 3. And Anne Suurendonk is another notable creator. She won the Innovation Award of Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht 2024 for her work on the cutting edge of film, theater and dance. The other names remain a surprise for now.
