Artistic vision DansBrabant

DansBrabant works with creators who are at the centre of the world. A world that is on fire on many fronts. The capital the makers work with is the body, as vital as it is vulnerable and inevitably always in connection with itself, the other and the environment.
The makers show us the body in need of care, the body questioned in terms of stereotyping, identity and gender, the black body in relation to our colonial past, the body represented in social media, the imperfect body that does not conform to beauty ideals and the selfless body, which is naked and defenceless.

With all these collected bodies, creators do not offer solutions, they do not put out fires, but distance themselves, reach out to us as yet unheard stories, open new perspectives and show alternatives to a way of life characterised by expediency, an unfounded belief in limitless growth and profit.

For DansBrabant, the arts are the domain of care and dedication, of everything that requires thought and time, of what is priceless and therefore invaluable.
Dance is an ephemeral medium. The choreographed body is fluid and elusive. It cannot be captured in unambiguity, framing and opposition, but remains ambiguous, boundless and ambiguous. Every movement is an invitation to keep looking and not to capture anything in judgement or opinion. Thus, the body gently positions itself in a world of hardening, increasing polarisation and mutual incomprehension. Beauty as the highest form of resistance.
