Dansand: Nathan Felix-Rivot + Stanley Ollivier + Pedro Santos

By invitation of DANSAND!, the Brussels platform workspacebrussels will present performances of artists working on a new project. Marvel at the fresh new energy of the creative process and discover the talent of tomorrow!

​

Stanley Ollivier - Spine Of Desire: Wounds without tears, out of one skin in diamonds and shit 

In this short dance trio, Ollivier shares fragments of dance material he is developing for a new research project. Together with Lily Brieu Nguyen and Mamadou Wagué, he aims to create space for vulnerability, intimacy, and recognition in relation to dance and the body. How can you use dance as a gesture of generosity towards your community? What does it mean to feel safe and protected?

Nathan Felix-Rivot - Prends Garde à Toi

In this solo, Nathan Felix-Rivot explores how the superficial and the sensory can coexist. Accompanied by Pedro Santos' music, he plays with the expectations inherent in the medium of performing arts, both those of the audience and the performers. Nathan's background in circus and experience in contemporary dance have led him to reflect on these expectations, as well as on the purpose of presenting a body in performance. "Prends Garde à Toi" (watch out for yourself) also questions the framework that influences the way artists traditionally want to present themselves to please an audience.
