dabida day 2021
Sunday, October 3, 2021, after 1 year of absense, another DABIDA day was held at “het Klooster” in Nuenen. (No DABIDA day was organized in 2022 because of Corona pandemic)
This DABIDA day was a special day, organized in collaboration with the Blue Planet Harp ensemble from Nuenen.
The harp ensemble made a musical performance of a fairy tale “The Doll maker”. The fairy tale was written by Inge Frimout, the driving force behind the harp ensemble. She was also the composer of the music. It became a musical dream in which dolls come to life. Some characters (dolls) from the story were created by DABIDA members.
This was a big challenge because the dolls for the performance were much larger than the regular work that these DABIDA members make. In addition, it was also a technical challenge because the dolls had to be movable and playable.
The performance was shown twice that day and together with the doll exhibition, a big success.
The DABIDA members were present with their most beautiful and recent work. Some members gave a demonstration. The following guests were present: Anna Zueva, Viktoria Fribus and Ankie Daanen. The Hannie Sarris Doll Award was presented, with the beautiful creation of Ekaterina Lipikhina as the winner.
