In this second working phase of her new project Congratulations, I’m Sorry For Your Loss, Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx will experiment with voice, text, and light to let a multitude of voices speak from her recent experience of interrupting a pregnancy, or: medically provoking a very early stillbirth.

Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx (BE)

Alice Van der Wielen-Honinckx works in the field of contemporary dance and performance as a maker, performer, and dramaturge. She studied Western Literature and Sciences of Literature at KULeuven, Contemporary Theatre, Dance and Dramaturgy at Utrecht University, and is a certified Fascia Practitioner. Alice works with choreography, text, and somatic techniques to create slow spaces: space-atmospheres where a heightened sensorial experience offers rest from the alienating effects of our culture of haste. She is currently investigating how these slow atmospheres provide a caring space where subjects like childbirth, abortion, miscarriage, and reproduction technology are addressed.
