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

Building on my previous work, this research focuses on the interplay between dance and music, and on 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 aesthetically and through the development of hybrid formats. In doing so, I revisit the relationship between dance and music, following John Cage's prophetic insight: "Make music an integral part of the dance, and dance, as an art of time, a strong medium, and useful to society."

This research has 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 whose  energy draws the audience into the ritual, transforming it into a collective celebration of dancing identities.
