More aptly described as a practice than a venue, Table Dance now continues to operate nomadically as an ever-evolving body, although the duo officially celebrated its funeral at KVS in 2023. Table Dance made a name as providers of fine food, drinks, and entertainment. Existing far away from any standards, their practice consists of a hybrid mix of cuisine, music, performance, and scenography cherishing freedom, creativity, and collective quality time above all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/melodieblaison.com\/\">M\u00e9lodie Blaison<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/barbarasalomefelgenhauer.be\/\">Barbara Salom\u00e9 Felgenhauer<\/a> <\/strong>present an original creation in which sound, breath, and ritual gesture enter into dialogue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This performance emerges from the encounter between the two artists\u2019 practices. M\u00e9lodie Blaison works with sound and breath, while Barbara Salom\u00e9 Felgenhauer works through ritual gesture. Their respective materials\u2014voice, flute, ceramics, and performative actions\u2014meet within a shared space. Sound and gesture intertwine, moving bodies through a continuous flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Portrait-Barb-Fev-2024-\u00a9-camillepoitevin-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13266\" style=\"width:437px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>\u00a9 Camille Poitevin<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barbara Salom\u00e9 Felgenhauer<\/strong> (born in 1992, lives and works in Brussels) develops a practice in which photography serves as an anchor point, in dialogue with video, installation, and performance. As an artist-researcher, she initiated her laboratory J\u2019ai r\u00eav\u00e9 l\u2019obscur in 2020, based on an in-depth exploration of Starhawk\u2019s text Dreaming the Dark: Magic, Sex and Politics (1982). This reference nourishes her multidisciplinary practice, which pays particular attention to the neopagan dimensions of ecofeminism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Felgenhauer <\/strong>creates immersive, collective, and sensitive forms that challenge dominant narratives and open spaces for transformation. Her artistic research, informed by history, sociology, and philosophy through a gender-conscious lens, explores the relationships between body and land, image and ritual, politics and the sacred. Narrative occupies a central place in her work\u2014as a critical tool, an emancipatory experience, and a force capable of reshaping imaginaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RDV-Instagram-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13285\" style=\"width:438px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RDV-Instagram-2.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RDV-Instagram-2-800x1000.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RDV-Instagram-2-768x960.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>\u00a9 Lars Duchateau<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Based in Brussels, <strong>M\u00e9lodie Blaison<\/strong> is a sound artist, composer, and flautist. She explores the boundaries between performance, electroacoustic composition, field recording, and ceramic instrument-making. Her work centres on breath as a primary material, shaping voices, instruments, and spaces to create listening situations in which sound emerges, transforms, and disappears according to the conditions that receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her works combine acoustic and electronic textures, field recordings, and instrumental gestures, creating unstable sonic environments in which perception is constantly reconfigured. She also designs ceramic instruments activated by air and water, which are used in performances and installations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jewish Museum of Belgium is partnering with RendezVous and invites you on 12 September to discover two original creations:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13235,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13239"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13419,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13239\/revisions\/13419"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mjb-jmb.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
