How do we try to get higher up? To what extent do we rely on each other for that? Is height the scariest, or is seeking balance even more thrilling?
Together with seven amazing friends & choreographer Piet Van Dycke, I created 'Beyond the Edge'. In 'Beyond the Edge', we move across a large installation of ladders. Together, we explore the extremes and test how far we can push each other.
Beyond the Edge is a project of the cultural centers of Maasmechelen, Genk, Heusden-Zolder, Houthalen-Helchteren, Lommel, and Tongeren, in collaboration with HET LAB/Krokusfestival and fABULEUS.
Is has been an absolute honor working together with Piet Van Dycke. Don't forget to check out his other incredible creations:
Exit (2022) & Glorious Bodies (2023)
The performance 'Beyond the Edge' will be on tour in Belgium and The Netherlands from February 2023 until March 2024.
A couple of friends I worked together with Hans Stockmans (camera operator and storyteller) and Wendy Van den Bulck (Bookbuddy of John Brooker) to create a surprise book launch video as a thank you to John Brooker for making this book!
The book, 'Jump Now', is about 'Solution Focus Collaboration', parkour/freerunning is used as a metaphor to describe the specific parts of this concept.
If you would like to know more about the similarities between Solution Focus Collaboration and freerunning, make sure to watch my interview with John discussing why freerunning fits so well within the 'Freerun Framework'! (The 'Freerun Framework' is explained in the book.)
