Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx (Brussels, 1989) is a performance maker, performer, and dramaturg. She holds graduate degrees in literary and performance studies, and is a certified somatic practitioner.
Her work takes different forms depending on the material, and is often grounded in research. She works with body and text to create spaces for rest, intimacy, and presence—as a poetic response to the exhausting and oppressive effects that capitalism has on our bodies.
Her durational choreographic trio Creatures at rest has been presented in contexts at the intersection of visual arts and performance, including Dansand! Festival (Japanese garden, Ostend), Playground Festival (Museum M, Leuven), The Museum as Performance (Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto), and the Brussels Biennale of Women in Art.
As a dramaturge, she has collaborated with Evelien Cammaert, Stav Yeini, Benjamin Vandewalle, Francesca Saraullo, Zoltan Vakulya & Chen-Wei Lee, Jeanne Colin, Fabian Krestel, Hanna Erdman & Louise Dahl, and Maria Madeira.
She performed in works by Evelien Cammaert, Benjamin Vandewalle, Stav Yeini, and Les gens d’Uterpan.
She occasionally teaches dramaturgy at École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque (ESAC) in Brussels.
“It is not about a furious effort to slow down. It’s about getting out of the way and discovering the pace that was there all along.”
