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, Rhythm of the Resilience - Dance with daily risk, 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.

ShELFISH makes immersive socially engaged interdisciplinary documentary theatre. Based on the belief that theatre is a place to discover what you dont know or yet know or dont want to know, ShELFISH questions societal rules and the behavior that follows.
Level O is an exploration of new media for the already existing theatre production ONE, created in 2021 by ShELFISH in collaboration with WERC collective.
We have created an archive of data documenting and digitalizing live movement from one specific scene of the piece, through the use of different technological mediums.
This archive serves as an illuminating tool to analyze this performance as data. By fracturing and transforming movement in a digital environment we offer the audience the chance to experience creative freedom through interaction and maniplaution with the data stored in the archive.
The question ‘do we change the outcome by measuring’ also pertains to Level 0 as it configures as a documentation on preservation of an isolated existence and the exposure of the many possible iterations of movement that can be lost in a traditional real life performing space.
Director/Performer Olympia Kotopoulos about Level O : “As an artist who works
predominantly physically with movement as the communicative tool but interacts
regularly with new media, I have the urge to explore and develop ways to enhance
how choreography is displayed in the digital world.”

Charlotte Goesaert (DansBrabant)
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.
