Słownik Ann Van den Broek
A Dictionary of Ann Van den Broek

Summary/Abstract: Anna Królica has created a “dictionary” of Belgian choreographer Ann Van den Broek’s artistic vocabulary. Królica believes the key words to be: death, body in isolation, WArd/waRD, sexuality (from nudity to undressing), and rhythm. The author uses these issues to examine the artist’s plays: I solo ment, Q61, Co(te)lette, We Solo Men, and Ohm. Contemporary dance researchers believe Van den Broek to be an heir to the arts movement of the 1980s in Belgium, i.e. the “Flemish wave,” and to the German tradition of Tanztheater. Królica, however, stresses the unique, individual, and autobiographical nature of the Belgian artist’s projects.
