3m3pGuerrilla-a dance performance in the centre of Tilburg (October 2007). Cartoonists and choreographers were invited to collaborate in this site specific project initiated by Theater de NWE Vorst, Theater Tilburg, Station Zuid and Fonty’s Dance Academy.

Salts Productions collaborated for the first time in the 3marketeer/3 passer-by project, which was part of the Guerrilla performances during the Dansweek Brabant. The inspiring approach of the collaboration is that both artists contribute to the choreographic as well the visual process; Both being involved with the development of the concept, performance material as well as the filming, editing and presentation on the internet. This rare fusion of talents has proven to be a very fruitful one and salts productions is aiming to embark together on new ideas in the coming year.
