Off Venue Workshop: Disambiguation
Off Venue Workshop: Disambiguation
Dance workshop guided by Elisa Zuppini and coproduced by WhyNot.
In this workshop, participants will be invited into the atmospheres of the night, post-clubbing states, and altered modes of presence, where anonymity, depersonalised embodiment, and heightened sensory awareness open emergent ways of perceiving relation and presence in movement.
Drawing from Elisa Zuppini’s ensemble work Disambiguation — which premiered at Frascati Theater in May 2025 with fifteen dancers, coproduced by WhyNot—participants will be introduced to the principles of her movement practice of decentralized relational systems. They will imagine the body as a sensitive entity with redistributed control across multiple, movable centers. After learning selected sequences from the choreography, they will be invited to re-compose and adapt the material through guided improvisations with the musical score of the piece. Together, participants will inhabit liminal and transitional spaces, where ambiguity becomes a generative force shaping tangible states of movement and collective presence.
This performance is part of OFF VENUE, a walking tour through the raw edges of Amsterdam Nieuw-West during ADE Thursday and Friday, where daring artists transform hidden spaces into stages for performance and artistic intervention. More info and tickets here.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
