ThinkBig! #11 Workshop: What remains

In the organizer's words:

What remains workshop with Zoë Demoustier as part of the symposium
in English

The starting point is the body and its memories. Using simple playful tasks, participants will experiment with intergenerational approaches to movement and reflect on how cultural heritage can become new shared material. Belgian choreographer and performer Zoe Demoustier combines contemporary dance with body mime, physical theater and drawing exercises. The workshop is aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds and requires no previous dance experience.

Zoë Demoustier is a Belgian choreographer and performer. Her work takes the body as both a starting point and an archive, combining movement, memory and social issues through choreographic forms. Her works include "Unfolding an Archive" and the acclaimed large-scale production "What Remains" (both produced by Ultima Vez). "What Remains" premiered in 2023 and features performers with an age difference of 70 years. The play is currently touring nationally and internationally. She herself began dancing at the age of eight with Kabinet K and later, with fABULEUS, she brings her first-hand experience of intergenerational work to both her artistic practice and her teaching. In 2027, her piece "A wave" will premiere at the Opera Ballet of Flanders.
