SUMMARY:Heleen Van Haegenborgh: Nimble
DESCRIPTION:Heleen Van Haegenborgh is composing a purely electronic soundtrack for an upcoming, large-scale dance production. The piece is set for an extensive international tour, with around 30 performances already scheduled between November 19, 2026, and April 29, 2027, across France, Belgium, and Switzerland.\nThis major new production, titled Nimble (2026), is the largest creation to date by the renowned dance company Not Standing, directed by choreographer Alexander Vantournhout. Nine dancers form a contemporary corps de ballet, exploring the immense power of collective bodily rhythm. Inspired by the intricate footwork of boxers, Vantournhout shifts the focus entirely to the lower body, shining a spotlight on movements that usually escape our attention.\nCentral to this pulsating performance is its unique musical identity, shaped entirely by Heleen Van Haegenborgh’s electronic score. In Nimble, the boundaries between dancer and musician completely blur. Rather than performing to a passive background track, the performers physically generate and deliver the soundtrack live on stage. Van Haegenborgh’s innovative composition transforms their physical movements into an immersive soundscape of beats, polyrhythms, loops, and vibrant live electronics.\nAs the collective body moves through the expansive stage space, Van Haegenborgh’s music and Vantournhout’s choreography continuously propel each other forward, turning the entire stage into one single, physical rhythm\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChoreography Alexander Vantournhout\nCreation and performance Chia-Hung Chung, Lewis Cooke, Júlia Godino Llorens, Dimitri Landoz, Giulia Tornarolli, Emmi Väisänen, Hendrik Van Maele/Alexander de Vries, Esse Vanderbruggen, Alexander Vantournhout\nArtistic assistance Emmi Väisänen, Esse Vanderbruggen\nDramaturgy Rudi Laermans\nMusical dramaturgy Katherina Lindekens\nRehearsal director Miguel do Vale\nCostume design Patty Eggerickx\nCostume assistance Isabelle Airaud, Kai Sin Chau, Coline Paquet\nComposition Heleen Van Haegenborgh\nRhythm coach Gideon Van Canneyt\nProps Willy Cauwelier, Pete Farmer\nLight design Luc Schaltin\nSound design Alex Fostier\nSound Brecht Beuselinck\nTechnical coordination Bram Vandeghinste\nTechnician Bert Van Dijck\nCompany manager Esther Maas\nProduction manager Janne Coonen\nTour manager Janne Coonen, Loïs Martens\nCommunication manager Kiki Verschueren\nTourplanning Frans Brood Productions\nPhotos Bart Grietens\nThanks to Samuele Baschieri, Carry De Clerq, Lea Diercksen, Axel Guérin, Dylan Brahim Labiod, Alexa Moya Panksep, Jules Renaud, Tos Schoonjans\nProduction Not Standing vzw\nCoproduction Arts Centre VIERNULVIER (Ghent, BE), December Dance (Concertgebouw Bruges and Cultuurcentrum Bruges, BE), Maison des Arts de Créteil (Créteil, FR), Charleroi danse – centre chorégraphique de Wallonie (Brussels, BE), Les Salins – scène national de Martigues (Martigues, FR), Les Halles de Schaerbeek (Brussels, BE), STUK – Huis voor Dans (Leuven, BE), LOD Muziektheater (Ghent, BE), Théâtre de Caen (Caen, FR)\nResidencies Wood Cube (Roeselare, BE), Peeping Tom (Brussels, BE), Studio Thor (Brussels, BE), le CENTQUATRE (Paris, FR), Arts Centre VIERNULVIER (Ghent, BE), STUK – Huis voor Dans (Leuven, BE), Charleroi danse – centre chorégraphique de Wallonie (Brussels, BE)\nWith the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.\nWith the support of the Tax Shelter of the Belgian Federal Government, via Flanders Tax Shelter.\nNot Standing/Alexander Vantournhout is artist-in-residence at Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER in Ghent and associated artist of le CENTQUATRE Paris and Maison des Arts de Créteil.
