It's time to Share & Train again 🫵 Save the dates 👀❗️
👉 Every two weeks on Wednesday evening, Share & Train opens a space for dancers, movement artists, and performers to share their training routines, dance research, and spontaneous ideas with DEVLOER and the dance community of Ghent. Share & Train, as the name suggests, rather offers dance training and movement knowledge in a horizontal way.
💌 Register beforehand 👉 link in bio
👥 Bring a friend — or come solo, connect and meet new people 🙂
💫 This is a space to connect, exchange, and grow together from a place of support, and a shared love for dance, movement and performance. Join us & be part of the dance, movement and performance scene in Ghent. 💚
We felt the need for this, and we hope you do too.
Much love,
DEVLOER
Emilie, Amber, Ine & Lies
Weekly Thursday morning training ❤️
🔴 A dance laboratory every Thursday morning with MB training as its central axis: Muscle/Bone, Mind/Body, Movement/Brain. This training activates the body through dynamics, collectivity, alertness, rhythm, endurance, coordination, and flexibility. We explore micromovement, image work, sensitivity training, and touch 🌿
🔴 This series is based on the original research of the Body Weather Laboratory in Japan, developed by Min Tanaka and the Mai Juku Collective, and further expanded through the work of Frank van de Ven, Katerina Bakatsaki, Oguri, Christine Quoiraud, and Hisako Horikawa. In her own artistic practice and ongoing research as a dancer, Emilie de Vlam has been deeply influenced by these practitioners, and she carries this lineage into the facilitation of the lab, where she hosts and guides the Body Weather Weekly Lab as an open space for embodied exploration and collective research.

📍Nieuwland 69, 9000 Gent
🗣 Welcome on Sunday mornings for Body Repair: a gentle, hands-on bodywork session focused on recovery and body care. 🤲
👐 We work with massage, breath and mobilisation to allow the body to recover. Come for an hour of touch and care, with indulgence, friction and kneading. We practice together, share tips and skills, and exchange through both giving and receiving.
👐 This is a very practical space, with room to share experiences about bodily sensations and small aches. Everyone is welcome.
👀 Keep an eye on socials for specific sessions (shiatsu practice hour, manipulations, Ilan Lev method, ...).

📍BROEI, Nieuwland 69, 9000 Gent
🔴 Explore your dance landscape through physical training and key tools such as micro-movement, slow and small movement, image work, and sensitivity exercises. Butoh is a dance without correct answers. A well-moving body and a strong imagination are both essential: it is never either/or, but mind and body together.
🔴 This series of Butoh is dedicated to approaching material with precision through experimentation. Imperfection, danger, imbalance, paradox, loss of control, and fragility all play an essential role.
🔴 Emilie brings her perspective within the butoh practice to share and to learn together. We are always beginners, again and again. She has been shaped by many years of experience with butoh masters such as Akira Kasai and Masaki Iwana, as well as by collaboration with fellow dancers like Tashi Iwaoka.
👥️ Participants are invited to share their improvisation on the open stage with exchange, “Soft Stage”, every third Sunday evening of the month at DEVLOER in Broei.
This workshop is hosted by Emilie de Vlam 🫧

🌀 ABOUT A CONTACT IMPRO JAM
● a jam is a co-responsibility space to dance, train, deepen and celebrate the practice of contact improvisation (CI)(it is not a class)
● CI starts from the exploration of physical laws and forces while moving through space, in physical contact with someone else, sharing and carrying weight along the way
● all levels of experience are welcome
● dancing can happen in duo's, trio's, alone or with the whole space and group
● dances can last short or long
● when a dance partner leaves, my dance doesn't need to end, it can continue its flow,
transform and find new chapters
LET'S KEEP THE DANCE THE FOCUS!
