Magnetik Poétik

True to its motto “Everyone’s a poet and they don’t even know it”, Magnetik Poétik invites you to get started with urban poetry!
Every Saturday you can find us at a different location in Sint-Gilles or Forest.
We will be prepared with magnetic word boxes in different languages and participatory poetry trees.
Try it for yourself, unleash your creativity in Dutch, French, Arabic, English, Spanish or Portuguese between 2 pm and 5 pm, and after this let the Blind Dates surprise you!
Magnetik Bind Dates are literally meetings between improv artists, who have never worked together before, performing with each other based on the word creations of the day…
Think dialogues between slammers, musicians, rappers and dancers from different disciplines (urban & contemporary).
This project focuses on improvisation, communication, risk and lots of fun!

3 July – 21 Aug 2021 @ St Gilles/Gillis & Forest/Vorst

Concept: Susanne Bentley & Magnetik Poétik team
Scenography: Marzia Dalfini
Co-curation & MC Blind Dates: Susanne Bentley & Milan Emmanuel (Detours Festival)

Rest In Peace my dear friend & dance colleague of many years, Michel Yang. We arrived in Brussels around the same time, almost 20 years ago. We danced together, drank tea, sewed, cared for plants, chatted for hours. You are so missed, and you made such an impact in so many people’s lives – in NYC, in Brussels. Your hum is in my heart forever.

From Michel:

“The most important moment is Now.
Does this give me joy Now, care Now
Let go of what has past
Let go of what may come ….
Let go of what is happening now
Don’t try to figure anything out
Don’t try to make anything happen
Relax, right now, and rest.”

Coming Soon! Starting February 6th (Waitangi Day, NZ) Functional Movement @ De Markten!

Very excited and a little overwhelmed with the start of my studies for Postgraduate Diploma in Functional Training! This takes my body knowledge to more technical realms and helps me to coach others better through movement. http://www.functionaltraining.be/ #iamfunctional
