Hans Van den Broeck is a Belgian dancer, choreographer and video artist who is best known for his productions for les ballets C de la B and SOIT.
While studying in Leuven, he also participated in workshops with choreographers and theater makers (amongst others with Jan Fabre) at the art centre STUC, that was often frequented by the big names of contemporary dance.
That collective expanded into an artistic platform for various choreographers: Koen Augustijnen, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Christine De Smedt, Lisi Estaras, Alain Platel, Fred Toffer and Hans Van den Broeck.
[6] The Norwegian choreographer, dancer and performance artist Mette Edvardsen collaborated with Hans Van den Broeck before she started developing her own work.
[12] Hans van den Broeck himself describes his work as raw, visceral, uncompromising, committed, suggestive, poetic, visual and cinematographic.
Hans van den Broeck directed several semi-fiction videos, such as Eyes on the back (1998), Ways of watching (1998), Odeur de Sainteté (2003), Alivetoo (2008) and Homeland (2011).
