Myriam Van Imschoot (Belgium) is enmeshed in the making and thinking of dance performance. Originally a dance historian and essay writer, she has become a regular collaborator with Meg Stuart and Benoît Lachambre (as a dramaturg and occasionally as a performer and co-teacher). She has been involved in projects with Vera Mantero (curator of Connexive), Antonia Baehr (performer), Philipp Gehmacher (dramaturg), Tristero (coach) and Jérôme Bel (bookmaker). Together with Jeroen Peeters she leads Sarma, a workplace for dance related research with an extensive text collection. In 2009 she was researcher in residence at the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, with ‘Crash Landing Revisited (and more)’, a research project that developed a collaborative and curatorial approach towards shared historical praxis invested in themes like improvisation, catastrophe culture and sound.
