Åsa Ewing (She/Her)

Swedish/American dancer, teacher and creator who graduated from the Iwanson School of Contemporary Dance in Munich, Germany (2019-2022), before moving to Brussels, Belgium in order to broaden her horizon and further explore the medium of dance.

“My work centers rhythm, memory, and community as embodied practices. Drawing from the musical traditions of my lineage, Tai Chi Qigong, and improvisation, I create work that weaves together performance, social space, and cultural resistance. I am also the co-founder of Darling Dare! , a community dance collective for BIPOC women and non-binary people. I’ve always kept my hands busy working on an array of diverse projects, both self-initiated works, solos, and collaborations. Working with choreographers like Alesandra Seutin, David Zambrano and the Transe-en-Danse Company in Belgium broadened my range from opera productions, smaller projects and interdisciplinary collaborations with actors and musicians, which in turn, invites community work into the art space.”

Jair Montes (They/Them)

Interdisciplinary Performance Artist | Brussels & Mexico. Jair is an interdisciplinary artist, dancer, and musician born in Mexico and based between Brussels and Mexico. Their work moves through dance, performance, and live electronics to create collective environments where movement and sound unfold together. Sound is not an accompaniment but a living presence that shapes attention, relationship, and the space between bodies. During their master’s research, they developed a practice of live electronics, collective composition, improvisation, and scores, exploring how bodies and systems respond to one another in real time. Projects such as Oddkin bring these processes to life, combining sound, movement, and storytelling to create immersive experiences where resonance circulates and attention is shared. Jair is drawn to this work because sound and movement can share energy with the people around them, opening a level of empathy worth exploring in a world where care and attention are so often overlooked. Their practice grows from cyberfeminism, queer theory, and collective care, creating architectures of listening, sensing, and transformation. Each performance and composition becomes a space to gather, to experiment, and to imagine new forms of relationality. As a teacher, Jair leads workshops and mentoring in body-sound responsiveness, improvisational dramaturgy, and collaborative experimentation across Belgium and Mexico, guiding students to learn through listening and shared creation.
