[EN] As a slow choreographer, Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx aims to create spaces where less action makes room for things to affect us more subtly. Alice has been developing a practice of slowness since 2017, nourished by academic as well as embodied research. She studied literature at KULeuven and contemporary performance at Utrecht University. Her essay ‘Space as Atmosphere: Floating in a Molecular Bath’ was published in Slow Spatial Reader: Chronicles of Radical Affection edited by Carolyn F. Strauss (Amsterdam: Valiz, 2021).
On the Biennale, she will present the performative installation Creatures at rest. We see performers in the intimate and fragile environment of rest, daydreaming, and maybe even sleep, where things can be done at their own pace, and can exist in their own space of radiance. This work has been presented, amongst others, at Museum M Leuven, and at Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in Porto.
