"Deceleration (that is, moving at a slower pace) is an important part of it, to be sure, but the crux of Slow research is less about a register of speed than it is about awareness—and especially about the shifts in perception and positioning that can be provoked when we commit to more expansive ways of being in and of the world. That means looking more closely and listening more deeply, noticing fine details and attuning to processes, and at the same time adopting a wider, more holistic view that situates our experiences within larger webs of relations, spaces, and times."
Carolyn F. Strauss, Slow Spatial Research: Chronicles of Radical Affection

Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx (1989, Brussels) is an art practitioner with a background in literary studies and dramaturgy. She works as maker, dramaturge, and performer in the fields of performance, contemporary dance, and circus. Alice is also a certified somatic practitioner.
Rooted in embodied as well as academic exploration of slowness, her projects reflect on the impact that patriarchal capitalism has on our bodies. Her work is highly collaborative: with artists from different disciplines, she creates varying formats that implement body, text, and atmosphere to invite experiences of intimacy, rest, and presence as states of poetical and political resistance.
Alice’s work has been presented at Dansand! Festival Ostend, Playground Festival at Museum M Leuven, The Museum as Performance at Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art Porto, LE18 MARRAKECH, and Brussels’ Biennale for Women in Art.
As dramaturge, she has worked with Evelien Cammaert, Stav Yeini, Benjamin Vandewalle, Francesca Saraullo, Zoltan Vakulya & Chen-Wei Lee, Jeanne Colin, Fabian Krestel, Hanna Erdman & Louise Dahl, Fabian Krestel, and Maria Madeira.
Alice has performed in the works of Evelien Cammaert, Benjamin Vandewalle, Stav Yeini, and Les gens d’Uterpan.
She has thaught dramaturgy at École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque (ESAC, Brussels).
