ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive: It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope & radical_house and holds documentation of the research projects Distraction As Discipline and OTÇOE - works for passers-by.
radical_hope (since 2010) creates and holds frameworks for artistic research/es & co-creation/s.
radical_house (since 2020), next to being a long term project on notions of ownership, privacy and privilege, provides a physical place in Brussels: here people can tempralrily cohabit with the permanent users of the house in order to work, rest or find shelter.
Distraction As Discipline (2015 - 2019) 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 (2012 - 2014) 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.

The 11th Hour Dance - Davis Freeman
guests of Davis Freeman : José Paulo Dos Santos, Gabriel Forestieri, Dolores Hulan, Heike Langsdorf
11th hour is a piece created and performed by Davis Freeman and his invited guests. Its centre revolves around the question "What do you pass on"? The interest is in the idea of legacy and questions what transfer is made with each meeting that occurs between two people. 11th hour can be seen as the movement we embrace evolving as a species and community with the lines of flight of our conscious and subconscious. With every interaction through out the day we send out force that others respond to. We search for missing links and give or receive physical and emotional information where either we teach or become taught. This piece confronts the audience and performers with questions of transformation by drawing attention to what a person thinks they present and what people actually see. >>> Random Scream
