STEP UP! - Chapter 2
Belgian Dance and Performance on Camera 1970-2000

Opening Night: Saturday 28th of January 2017 // 18:00-21:00

We focus extensively on the history of dance and performance in Belgium and on how these art disciplines relate to film and video. The second part of the exhibition STEP UP! Belgian Dance and Performance on Camera 1970-2000 presents work by artists and choreographers such as Thierry De Mey, Lili Dujouri, Sven Augustijnen, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Jan Fabre. In the decades after the war, dance and performance developed in autonomous circuits, but towards the turning point of the millennium, this ‘separate’ development increasingly crumbled. Today, this separation is hardly relevant and precisely therefore it constitutes a fascinating challenge to present historical works side by side. Instead of attempting to provide an overview, STEP UP! presents a selection of works that in a playful way wants to draw attention to fresh points of interest, alternative viewpoints and surprising associations.
