In
September 2017 I started a series about dance and movement. For this series
I have been drawing and painting at Art Campus De Singel in Antwerp for
several seasons. Thanks to Vincent Willems, Performing Arts Production,
I had the opportunity to attend final rehearsals of Anna Theresa de Keersmaeker
en Rosas, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui en Eastman, Wim Vandekeybus, Compagnie
Seydou Boro, Eko Supriyanto,…. All works have been created in the
dark, the stage at times offering a dim light. These circumstances allowed
me to work instinctively by touch. Therefore, I did not have any control
of the result. Consequently, I started to feel more and more set free
while I was working.
Both catching a movement and creating an impression of the tension between dancers has been my starting point all the way. By doing so, both the dancers’ performances and my reations on paper gradually started to form a symbiosis. I have continually tried to create the expression of the dancers’ rhythm by means of charcoal and paint.
