Laura van Hal
Final version LOOP
TENT circus theater productions is the first Dutch circus theater company that dedicates itself solely to the creation of NEW CIRCUS. Under final direction by Laura, TENT’s first production LOOP, has evolved to a feature performance.
The new version of LOOP had its premiere in May 2011 during the Rotterdam Circusstad festival.
A Mexican fairy-tale
A whole town that runs out to see how two Dutch ‘Sleeping Beauties’ go to their prince.
During a one-month tour we travelled with Las Bellas Durmientes from Project Zeezicht through Mexico for the Festival Internacional Cervantino Callejero Cleta.
We also performed at many schools and plazas in the less populated states of Michoacán and Guanajuato!

A touch of Cuba in Holland
The docu dance film Nothing rhymes with happiness by Relinde Moorish was presented during Cinedans on 10 and 11 December 2010.
Air castles disappears
Laura was one of the original cast members of Luchtkastelen by youth dance company Plankenkoorts. Luchtkastelen is a performance about air castles that were homes as well as surprises for the performers, as each door revealed a playground where Laura could play with hoops, swing on poles, or just stow away at the top of the tower to dream.
Unfortunately Plankenkoorts, has decided to stop performing after 15 years of succesfully delighting audiences with their productions.
