‘Dancing Drums’ is an improvisational dialogue between dancer Evangelos Biskas and drummer Pascal Vermeer.
The here and now is the starting point from which movement, sound and the interaction between the two unfolds.
Based on their intuition the performers discover motives and patterns of expression that appear surprisingly,
as they deal with the state of not knowing.

Evangelos Biskas (GR) is a performance artist who works as a choreographer, performer, dramaturg and teacher
based in Tilburg (NL).
Evangelos has developed a distinct movement language drawing inspiration from a variety of movement cultures
such as Hip Hop, contemporary dance, Butoh, physical theater, acrodance and Qi Gong.
He has a vast performing experience, moving between renowned festivals and theater venues,
public space interventions, installations and films, and the underground scene.

Pascal Vermeer is a much sought-after jazz drummer and improviser from the Netherlands.
His musical interests are very broad and his playing is characterized by the integration of various styles and genres.
He performed concerts in the Netherlands and abroad with many groups and musicians and can be heard on more than 70 albums.
