Op 12 november 2022 stond dans en performance centraal in een speciale editie van Club W in het roze walhalla. Dansers Lorena V. (Mexico) en Anna Tafel (GE) lieten zich inspireren op het verschijnsel van Volle Maan. Met twee energieke performances die overliepen naar een feest gedurende de maan opkwam. DJ Fleur du Bonheur zorgde voor extra energie met haar muzikale veelzijdige mix. In dit nieuwe jaar kun je meer multidisciplinaire Club W events verwachten i.s.m. Kelly Vanneste die het dans & performance programma in het Werkwarenhuis mee vormgeeft. Wil je nog even nagenieten van het Volle Maan feest, bekijk dan de clip van Jason Suen
Floating & transforming, a new state of mind…
Volle maan, een prachtige verschijning, die maar een paar keer per jaar voorkomt.
Een nacht minder goed slapen is vaak een gevolg. Heb je er wel eens aan gedacht om tijd te nemen en naar buiten te kijken om deze felle grote bol te bewonderen? Hoe kalmerend dit kan zijn en dat je er zelfs meer energie van kan krijgen!

“ECLIPSE”
An obscuring of a being’s light by the passage of another, creates contrast, shadows, opposites. When the eclipse happens, for one moment Light and Darkness hold the same power. In one’s self, this illumination phenomenon is an encounter between opposite emotions. Emotions that don’t define us. They are simply sources of liberation and transformation.
