Poles is solo performance sculpted on the body of pole dancing virtuoso Yvonne Smink by choreographer Guilherme Miotto. With live music from musician/composer Isaac Poels.
Pole dancer Yvonne Smink is a multiple champion Dutch pole and is gaining international acclaim. In POLES, Miotto underlines Yvonne's rock-solid technique and lets you experience its strength and vulnerability. Determined but cautiously Yvonne finds her way through a steel pipe construction which feels like home to her. Fully committed she activates everybody's sensoriality, stretches it, expands it. ‘Are we allowed to see this?’, you wonder. Yvonne delivers sensations of physicality and intimacy. The total control of the body and searching mindset inspire courage and humility. Her continuous play with gravity mesmerizes. Poles is the closing solo of Guilherme’s series of solo’s for unique movers. The series started in 2015 with breakdance-champion Menno van Gorp in Rise Up and continued in 2018 with freestyle footballer Nasser El Jacksin in Ball.
