CHARLOTTE VANDEN EYNDE & NICOLAS ROMBOUTS - Hyphen

Day of the dance

27/04/2019

In their improvisation, choreographer Charlotte Vanden Eynde and double bass player Nicolas Rombouts explore the power and vulnerability of creating in the here and now. For Rombouts playing music is instant composition, for Vanden Eynde dancing is thinking. In Hyphen they become two parts of the same brain and explore the tension between intuition and mental control, between spontaneity and repetition.

Gates (might) open soon

09/07/2021 — 17/07/2021

Gates (might) open soon explores the socio-cultural phenomenon of the festival and its various manifestations. Traditionally understood as celebrations that include rituals and ceremonies, festivals also question social hierarchies and produce ephemeral communities based on sharing. Offering both escapism and liberation, festivals open the gates to a flow of emotions, revealing the sensual, spontaneous, and even darker sides of human nature.

Performance

Cassiel Gaube

FARMER TRAIN SWIRL - ÉTUDE

06/04/2019 — 07/04/2019

The origins of this new project by Cassiel Gaube can be found in his interest in street dance and house, which he has studied and performed. A precise interweaving of moves and steps allows him to compress a choreographic writing that opens up a poetic space and questions the essential act of the step. This project is being hosted by Kanal - Centre Pompidou.

 

Rendez-vous

Symposium

SCAFFOLDS

22/11/2018

23/11/2018

Scaffolds and 'Being with Pedagogy' are two events organized in synergy, providing the chance to link an academic event with a day of lectures and discussion open to the broader public.

 

The symposium aims at creating a place for sharing and discussion on research in architecture and urbanism, artistic practice and studio pedagogy.

It does so by reflecting upon epistemological and cognitive strategies and tools used in understanding and shaping our space, from the immediate human body and its extensions to the territory.

Performance

Unsettled Study

A.PASS

22/03/2019 — 23/03/2019

‘Unsettled Study’ will invite the audience to witness and join the multitude of research processes currently hosted by the A.pass platform for artistic research. 

 

For several years, A.pass platform for artistic research has periodically engaged with a research environment called Settlement proposed and facilitated by Vladimir Miller. This project continues to ask at what spatial,

performative and institutional conditions is it possible to step into and share an artist's research process as it is happening.
