Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx is a Brussels-based choreographic artist.
In her performances, she works with slowness, embodied perception, and mythopoetic writing to invite audiences into a libidinal realm of micro-perceptions and unexpected associations. Slowness in her work functions like a magnifying glass through which underlying cultural narratives are exposed.
Her durational installation Creatures at rest (2021) and her solo for exhibition spaces Slow Visit (2024) address the impact of capitalist speed on our bodies, attention, presence, and capacity for intimate connection. They were presented at Dansand! Festival in Ostend, Museum M Leuven, Serralves Museum Porto, and the Brussels Biennale of Women in Art, among others.
Currently, Alice is focussing on the Biblical scene of the Annunciation and the mythos of the Virgin-Mother to recalibrate repressive imaginaries in relation to desire and procreation.
At the invitation of the Amsterdam- based curatorial platform Slow Research Lab, she contributed to Slow Spatial Reader: Chronicles of Radical Affection with the chapter “Space as Atmosphere: Floating in a Molecular Bath” (Ed. Carolyn F. Strauss, Valiz, Amsterdam, 2021).
Alice has toured internationally as dance performer in projects by Benjamin Vandewalle, and performed in works by Les gens d’Uterpan, Stav Yeini and Evelien Cammaert. As dramaturge, she accompanies research and creation processes in performance, dance and circus; and she occasionally teaches at ESAC (École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque, Brussels).
Alice also practices as certified fascia-therapist.
