Fascinated by the social politics of club culture, I turn my attention to the ritual as a form of encounter — both literal and, in a sense, magical.

Building on my previous work, the exploration focuses on the interplay between dance and music, and the ways in which this interaction transforms states of body and mind.

I seek to investigate this powerful synergy and extend it into other media, both in aesthetic terms and through the development of hybrid formats. In doing so, I revisit the relationship between dance and music, following the prophetic insight of John Cage: “Make music an integral part of the dance, and dance, as an art of time, a strong medium, and useful to society.”

The research led to the creation of two underground rituals:

INEVITABLE
Dancing ritual/ with Dj Mellow, Marghe & the audience
7.30 pm > 4 am
Beurschouwburg, Brussels White Night- 2011

​

A rite of passage between a dancer and a DJ who, with their infectious energy, captivate the audience and transform their ritual into a collective celebration of dancing identities.
