Jan Martens

Jan Martens (1984) studeerde aan de Fontys dansacademie Tilburg en het Hoger Instituut voor Dans te Lier. In 2010/11 maakte hij bij Frascati Producties twee duetten over de liefde: a small guide on how to treat your lifetime companion is een klein, maar hard duet op vier vierkante meter. Voor het tweede duet, Sweat baby sweat liet Martens zich inspireren door circusacrobatiek. Beide duetten werden een instant hit en tourden onder de noemer To Love Duets in Nederland, Engeland, Denemarken, Frankrijk en Italië. Er volgden een nominatie voor de Prijs van de Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht 2012 en selectie door het Europese netwerk Aerowaves. Daarna maakte Martens bij Frascati Producties BIS (2012) een solo voor de 62-jarige danseres en choreografe Truus Bronkhorst. Vanaf 2013 was Jan Martens Artist in Residence bij ICK Amsterdam van Emio Greco PC en inmiddels werkt hij vanuit zijn eigen platform Grip.
