ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive. It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope, its current move to radical_house, the research project Distraction As Discipline (2016 - 2019) and the process of OTÇOE - works for passers-by, a working trajectory (2013 and 2014).

radical_house is a long term project and has a threefold nature: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic. When in 2013 teaching and mentoring became an extension of Langsdorf's artistic practices now radical_house stems from her pedagogical experience where 'being in dialogue' with others is her main principle.

Distraction As Discipline is an investigation into enactivist principles in art and education (research trajectory at KASK School of Arts Ghent 2016-19). It considers the potential of performance art and pedagogy in general, in resisting the current and massive desubjectivation, by critically reclaiming both, attention for the moment and participation in a process.

OTÇOE - works for passers-by was the development of radical_hope's artistic practice in the city and questioned how and by whom this practice (and its bodily, social and economical aspects) is perceived. The title refers to the public of a city and to how we encounter and register most things on our way through the city: Out of The Corner of Our Eyes. OTÇOE.

I Build My Language With Rocks

24-03-2022 [• Making Space/S ]















I Build My Language With Rocks is a choreographic project about the movements of the Northern Quarter in Brussels; a critical reading of the top down movements (large-scale urban plans), and a focus on the local movements in the neighborhood.
The notion of the swamp -- one of the first forms of life buried under the asphalt in order for the city to be written -- functions as a dramaturgical guidance throughout the project.

Within the context of this project, Paula Almiron and Wouter De Raeve opened a space called 'M33' located on the ground floor of the Harmonie building in the Northern Quarter. M33 is a place devoted to the local movements of the neighborhood.
