WIM VANDEKEYBUS

Evolution and Revolution within you as an empathic dance performer

  • Date: 11/07 to 15/07

SYNOPSIS 

Working with people is about exchanging tools and experience, but always with a focus on the uniqueness of each performer. Only that makes every moment unchangeable real. I am not a teacher but I can share my way of starting from any idea to developing it into a presentable interesting stage work. Dance is always a way of communicating and goes hand in hand with theatrical presence and expression. When movement asks for full engagement the drama will be inherent in the movement itself and freedom appears naturally.

BIO 

Wim Vandekeybus is a choreographer, dancer, filmmaker and photographer. He founded his dance company Ultima Vez in the mid-eighties. He made a remarkable artistic debut with What the body does not remember (1987). The performance won a Bessie, an award granted for groundbreaking work. A central focus in his work is the irreconcilable conflict between body and mind, feeling and intellect, man and woman, nature and culture, man and animal, group and individual, illusion and reality. Vandekeybus’ work is characterized by almost obsessive reiterations of one single concern: how man responds to extreme situations.
