Where does one movement end and where does the next one begin? For Blur XL, Jenneke explored how movements can flow into each other without allowing for sudden change. In this six-hour installation performance, which straddles the line between black box and white cube, dance is approached as a continuous flow of change.
The dancers move in repeating patterns and structures, embodying the subtle changes required to move from one movement to another. Allowing repetition and minimal variation creates hypnotic structures that explore the boundaries of movement and time. During this performance, the audience is free to move around the installation to discover new perspectives for themselves.
About Jenneke Slaets
Jenneke Slaets is a dancer and creator based in Brussels. In 2017, she received her bachelor's degree in contemporary dance from The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (UK). Intrigued by the theoretical side of the performing arts, she obtained a master's degree in Theater and Film Studies at the University of Antwerp in 2020. She then set out to bridge the gap between theoretical and artistic research. From 2021 to 2023, she immersed herself at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp with a movement research in the relationship between time, entropy and audience participation. From 2023 to 2025 she is part of the new maker trajectory of Platform In De Maak. Underlying her work is a fascination with time and transformation. In her artistic practice, she approaches time as a self-contained aesthetic element that continuously has a destructive, but also creative influence on bodies, movement and material. She currently combines her practice as a dancer, maker, dramaturg and teacher.
