I am a movement artist who works with expanded choreography as a medium.
As an artist, I aim to create vocabularies that entail a transdisciplinary language.
My practice relays on principles like collaboration, experimentation and translation.

My research revolves around the sensorial experience of space as a means to activate philosophical and epistemological knowledge.
In my artworks, I build ephemeral questions that unfold the physical relationship between the inner body and outer space. I play, invert, twist and stretch that relationship.

My artworks fall into diverse categories of art media like site-specific movement performances, choreographic DJ sets, installations, choreographic films and booklets.

My work resonates with thematics like the underpinning violence that endure the functioning of Western societies.
That theme often unfolds in my pieces through the visual juxtaposition of the vulnerable, ephemeral and malleable nature of the human body with the robust, lasting and rigid nature of architectural structures.

Falling in, notes on body, space and matter

Performance

  • 01-09-2018 t/m 01-07-2019
  • In samenwerking met: CODARTS, ZOHO Citizens
  • Locatie: ZOHO Citizens, Rotteredam
  • Falling in. Notes on body, space and matter is an interdisciplinary performance that takes place in between a mobile visual installation, two dancers, one hostess, and the audience. It is a site-specific artwork in which the textures, architecture and soundscape are used to deconstruct our cognitive experience of the performative space and play with its boundaries. The work emerged from the practice-led research 'Between control and uncertainity' (2017-2019)

Strata

Opdracht

  • 01-09-2020 t/m 10-10-2020
  • In samenwerking met: Goethe Instituut, The Grey Space In The Middle
  • Locatie: The Grey Space In The Middle, The Hague
  • Strata is a physical reflection on the means, strengths and paradoxes of inhabiting a common delimited space with shared rules, a critical ode to unity. The piece is influenced by the study of the Schuman Declaration in 1950, the breeding ground for the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, Europe's first supranational Community.
