A performance about the timeless drive to dance hard in a collective.

People have always danced intensely together. Rave has always existed, just under different names. In this performance, Lisa Vereertbrugghen explores the timeless desire to dance hard.

To demonstrate how hardcore rave should or can be danced, she is joined by

Claire Godsmark, Dolores Hulan, Eimi Leggett and Castélie Yalombo Lilonge.
De danser en hybrid They dance a hybrid techno–folk dance that revolves around losing control together with others.

Lisa Vereertbrugghen has been researching hardcore techno sound and dance styles since 2014, through different formats in between performance, sound and installation. She attained a master’s degree in Cultural History (history of the body) at the University of Leuven and a degree in Choreography at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam. She often works with long term collaborators Michael Langeder, Sophie Guisset, Vera Martins and Madison Bycroft. She also works as a dramaturg, performer and choreographer for various performance and visual artists in between Brussels, Berlin and Amsterdam and she teaches at the Académie Royale de Beaux Arts in Brussels. In recent years Lisa created Softcore - a hardcore encounter (2019) and DISQUIET – sensational aesthetics of a technokin (2021). While we are here (2023) will be the first work she makes for a group, produced by the Ghent based arts centre CAMPO.
