ELSA VAN DER LINDEN
Elsa van der Linden (1994) does research into capturing the moment, by listening, performing and documenting. As a musician and scenographer, she is interested in unexpected events. She plays with the saxophone as an instrument and space as a co-player. For her, improvisation is a perfect tool to listen to what is already there and use that as a starting point to create a moment-specific experience.
