The Grannies
Two older women talk about their wild and profound lives. They bring their skills back to the stage, perform acrobatic tricks and use their walking sticks creatively for much more than just their walking aids.
An interactive performance that appeals to people of all ages: the two old ladies manage to surprise passers-by, cause amusing irritation and interrupt the rhythm of everyday life. They flirt, they provoke, they are shameless – but in the end they always put a smile on the faces of the audience. The older women are portrayed in a cheeky, wild way as they enjoy the benefits of being old.
Bill and Fred Productions
Elysia Mc Mullen (IRE) and Luisa Schmitz (CH) met during their dance training at the FHK in Tilburg (NL), where they graduated with a BA in Dance and Choreography in 2016.
After graduating, they both pursued their own path, choreographing their own work and collaborating with other companies in the dance and circus field.
The duo reunited and founded their company Bill and Fred Productions in 2020.
Bill and Fred are an all-female clown duo who combine disciplines such as dance, clowning, circus and theater and have developed their own unique style of clowning.
Using improvisation, they found a complex language of gestures and movements.
Their work is based on this humorous language of movement, which focuses on the clownish expression of dance.
In their abstract style, they take their audience on a journey of discovery and make them laugh.
The duo brings a high degree of precision to their movements, developed through years of experience in improvisation, clowning and dance.
Together, they break new artistic ground and take professional dance and clowning to a new level.
They have been touring internationally with their production “Adventures” since 2021.
From 2022, they will go on tour with their second production “The Grannies”.
