Tweakology is a live research series exploring embodied improvisation in diverse yet curated unconventional spaces. Each performance in the series is a one-off, created and adapted just moments before the event in response to the specific site, context, and atmosphere of the location and moment.
Breaking with traditional stage formats, Tweakology detaches performance from its recognized forms. Instead, it becomes a fluid sculpture aimed to trap the viewer in the moment and invite them to think and feel the right now.
Performances are always short (5–15 minutes) and occur in unconventional spaces: a nightclub hallway, a living room, a courtyard. The audience in these spaces varies as widely as the spaces themselves. They may be ravers, dancers, or complete strangers. Tweakology does not care who’s watching. It will momentarily strip them of identity and invite them into a naked state of presence, from which a very deep internalization can spark.
Rather than presenting a final product, the focus is on creating conditions for intuition, discomfort, and physicality to unfold in new directions. Leaning on the present, and making full use of it. For me, Tweakology is complete freedom.

Tweakology #4 got presented in TILLATEC during De Reünie. In proper Tweakology fashion i decided to switch it up and invited my friend and very talented dancer Haron Muamba aka Meelo over to TILLATEC early. We talked about the vision for tonights tweakology, danced on an empty dancefloor in a dark room and finally decided we’d tweak together in the garden of TILLATEC guided by none other than Patrick van der Sluis.

#3 was a special one. Job Sifre gave Patrick & me the opportunity to perform Tweakology in the club i call home, TILLATEC. During Jobs new party, Get Angelic, the crowd joined in around a circular podium we found, lit by 2 spots, and backed by the amazing atmosphere present in the hallways of De School we Tweaked.

#2: Presented at the Makerssessies by Dans Brabant (Tilburg) as a two-part sonic-body dialogue with musician Patrick van der Sluis, combining sounds from Guitar into pedals, a drummachine and an AM/FM radio feedbacking into a 16 channel mixer. The sensitivity of this setup combined creates an honest and raw auditory experience that resonates with the movements presented creating an intense, 2-part dialogue in the black, and the white studio of dansbrabant.

#1: Premiered at Grounded Fest (Utrecht) in KABUL á GoGo’s Teatro cafe during Grounded Fest. A five-minute bodily improvisation transformed a dim café space into a 360 degree movie scene. In which the protagonist is a vessel for unravling the subcontious minds of everyone present, trapping clubbers into a moment in which everything is pure yet vague right before sending them onto the dancefloor until the sun comes up.
