Marina Cherry (BE)
Author and performer, KAIHO
Marina Cherry is a contortionist/acro-dancer, educated at ESAC (Brussels) and ENC (Montreal). Her research-based approach to creation and performing puts her somewhere between dance, contemporary circus and physical theatre; with her body as the tool of manipulation and method for redefining traditional constructs and deconstructing techniques to find her own language. She is currently based in Brussels and is still actively touring her first solo show Only Bones v.1.6 (original conception by Thomas Monckton) as well as working on collaborative projects around Europe, including companies Les Argonauts (BE), Petri Dish (BE/SE), Cirkus Cirkör (SE), and Vaudeville by the Decavita Sisters (SE). Marina has recently completed a degree in philosophy with the University of London (2022).
Taken residency at
Kunstplaats Vonk
Kunstplaats Vonk is a studio and residency space for visual and performance arts in Hasselt and Genk, Belgium. At their 3 buildings they support artists with artistic feedback, an international network, presentation opportunities, studio-space and a financial contribution (for the residencies).
Nau Ivanow
Nau Ivanow is a space of welcome, accompaniment, research and innovation; a haven where companies will find the warmth needed to work unhurriedly and in good conditions. Residencies are the main focus of what we do. Our aim is to provide decent working conditions, always accompanying the artists and providing them with the resources they need. Nau Ivanow’s projects are underpinned by three major working axes: creation, accompaniment and work with the territory. And all of them with one common denominator: internationalization, which permeates each and every one of our projects.
