Virtual Residencies

Charlotte Goesaert (PLAN Talentontwikkeling Brabant)
Charlotte Goesaert has been a core filmmaker at DansBrabant since this year. In April, together with Jochem Baelus, videographer, composer, musician, she will start researching a new kind of documentary: The whole shebang. A filmed account with performative elements in which Charlotte explores the place of autobiographical material in her artistic oeuvre. 
In previous live performances, Charlotte already reserved an important place for documentary elements and playing with the camera. Now she turns things around. In The whole shebang, Charlotte explores how movement and the performative body can play a meaningful role in film.

How do you ensure that an intimate story really arrives and also becomes physically inescapable? How then do you best appeal to the imagination? Together with dramaturg Sara Vendrieck, different perspectives and choices of form are explored - on the way to a film that without beating about the bush, without hesitation, names the pain and shows the discomfort.
 

Vlad Detiuchenko (Korzo)
After February 24th, the start of a full-scale Russian invasion, all lives of Ukrainians have changed. The war affected all aspects of Ukrainian dancers' lives, life values, perception of oneself, society, opinion about dance and art. 

Vlad chose to make an art documentary film about Kateryna Kurman and Volodymyr Marchuk. They are both professional dancers and a beautiful couple from Ukraine. They live and dance together in Kyiv.

This film is based on their life, their emotions, experience and daily routine of a couple who continue to create and teach in a country at war.
 

Olympia Kotopoulos & ShELFISH​​​​​​​ (Moving Futures)
ShELFISH makes immersive, socially engaged, interdisciplinary, documentary theater. Based on the belief that theater is the place to discover what you don't yet know or don't want to know, ShELFISH questions societal rules and the behavior that follows.

Her Virtual Residency ONE is the digital translation of a live performance. The physical and social isolation we were all in during Covid was the immediate trigger for ONE. In a dynamic crossover of dance theater, videography and live music, ONE shows the kaleidoscopic story of O., a young woman in isolation.
In collaboration with video collective WERC, time-based designer Isabela Manea and and Odyssey/ Momentum, a new all-digital 20-minute version is being developed based on material from the original performance, focusing on the question: How can we visually bring together the inner and outer worlds of the character?

Danseres Olympia Kotopoulos over het project: "Als kunstenaar die voornamelijk fysiek werkt met beweging als het communicatieve middel, maar ook regelmatig in interactie is met nieuwe media, heb ik de drang om manieren te verkennen en te ontwikkelen om de manier waarop choreografie wordt weergegeven in de digitale wereld te verbeteren."
