Artistry, sharing practices

 

Not Thus, Not Thus

In September 2021 startte ONT MOET met het onderzoekstraject Not Thus, Not Thus. Binnen dit traject ligt de focus op ruimte voor persoonlijke begrenzing en de subtiele interacties die daaruit voortvloeien.

Nelle Hens, Ivan Fatjo, Patricia Van Cutsem en Oona Van Aken werkten artistiek samen rond dit thema aan de hand van stilte, stem en dans. De uitkomsten en expertise rond persoonlijke begrenzing en wederzijdse toestemming werden vervolgens gedeeld en ontwikkeld in participatieve ateliers en deelmomenten met een publiek.

Art Based Connection

De drijfveer van Art Based Connection (ABC) is om binnen een team (familie of groep mensen) beweging en rust te faciliteren. Dit doen we door hoofdzakelijk non verbaal in ontmoeting te gaan en vanuit de belichaming en beleving in verbinding te gaan. Het niet moeten in ontmoeting met jezelf en elkaar vormen de basis. 

ABC kreeg verder vorm na een eerste try-out met een team van VZW De Touter. Enkele deelnemers omschreven hun ervaring en cameravrouw Alana Stoefs maakte een sprekend beeldverslag ! 

ARCHIEF

Bewogen Dromen

Since 1995, Persephone Vzw, has been working towards full citizenship for WOMEN with disabilities. The shorfilm ‘Bewogen Dromen’  came into being in meeting the inspiring WOMEN of Persephone Vzw with filmartist Sarah Lederman and choreographer Nelle Hens.

No body

‘No body’ is the second part of the diptych based on the practice of ONT MOET. The inspiration for this work was a long-term dance practice of which breath, voice and touch form the foundation. The performers invite the public to actively participate in the sharing moments as much as they wish to; being a participant or being a witness has the same value for us.

Nobody

Nobody is a site-specific performance which takes place in a hotel. In a rotation system, built around a ritual structure, the performers welcome visitors in a hotel room. 

Nobody is a 1 on 1 ritual meeting and performance in the context of a hotel. Two rooms, two dancers. Each of them practices “meeting” and giving a dance to someone from the audience. Not dancing “before”, but with the intention of “giving” a dance. From dancer to dance; from body to movement; from form to energy.

A one-on-one ritual meeting – giving a dance

Not the dancing ‘for’, but with the intention of ‘giving’ a dance. From dancer to dance; from body to movement; from shape to energy; from being untouchable to vulnerability; from showing to allowing yourself to be seen. In this 1 on 1 ritual meeting, I invite you to let go of the expectations you have towards yourself. With a duration of one hour and upon request.

Bouge Bouche

Bouge Bouche is a social engaged arts practice with immigrants, illiterate and 4th world people. Supported by CCDeSter Willebroek, Open School Mechelen. Nelle was one of the artistic guide in the project from 2016 – 2021.  Together we focused on how to create a safe environment for free movement, voice and no expectations.
