Digital Publication: DocumentSeries
Creative Copywriter – Content Editor
2019-2021 – Tilburg Netherlands
In collaboration with choreographer Kristel van Issum and produced by DansBrabant) in the DocumentSeries, a multi-year project, in which Kristel exposes new shapes and meanings in different modules by establishing links to previous work by a digital platform. In this project I’m currently preparing the team for the webdesign and creative copywriter to translate the work of Kristel to the digital platform. (Due to Covid-19 the project development got delayed from May to August 2020).
In body and spirit, Kristel van Issum is one big archive of images, memories, impressions and impulses: all that she has ever read, seen, felt or heard. Her method is to give the different elements from that archive time to settle and assemble into an idea, a reaction of ethical and aesthetic associations. Then she lets that same idea come up and surprise her, and tries to fathom it. It is fascinating to watch Kristel constantly arrange her enormous reservoir of thoughts into systematic order and give it shape by combining new insights and energy with profound reflection on previous work. In the new way of working she is so keen to determine, she considers encounters, exchanges and cooperation obvious tools: the process is just as shareable and important as the result. Because Kristel’s gigantic archive is also the source of her new creations, you could call her work the pinnacle of recycling and sustainability. Every creation initiates the next one. Constantly driven by the desire to show the imperfection of the ‘stumbling body’ and the struggling human spirit in relation to itself, others and reality by bringing together beauty and ugliness. She thinks along broad lines, with an eye for detail; active and at the same time receptive. As stated earlier, Kristel will be working on studies and performances/installations/films in the coming years in different phases and sets off the Document Series.

Website content development together with curator Ulrika Kinn Svensson on the topics Dance and Public Space and Transferable skills.
