Lorena Spindler

Lorena Spindler (◍•ᴗ•◍) is a hybrid artist from Brussels, born in 1994. She conceptualizes artistic proposals in the form of staging, choreography, clips/videos, text. During her theater studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, she was part of the Chapter One collective (L0S1 – Zinnema, 2015).  Parallel to her writing studies at INSAS, in 2018, she staged Softness 1 at C12. In 2019 she staged Softness 2. These are two forms that invite 3 performers through freestyle dance, physical theater, improvised speech, song and rap. In Softness 1 and 2, they study what competitiveness as a mode of existence has created in and between us.
She then immerses herself in choreography and dance as a self-taught artist and through the dance and choreographic practices course at Charleroi danse.

Her transdisciplinary work focuses on the diversion of materials from pop and mainstream culture. By immersing herself in codes, tools as well as fictional or real spaces, she transforms them into experimental protocols. In free dance escape, she invites 6 dancers around a TikTok challenge to explore what a "deep connection" between people would be.

Her work has been supported by Bamp, Bocal, Charleroi danse, l’Escaut Architectures, Mestizo Art Platform, Ravie, Iles asbl, AMA France Morin among others.
