Open Monday
The dancers of Hiatus all have their favorite physical practices. Movement exercises, explorations and investigations of composition, the body, a group or a theme and how they are connected with the each other and the world around us. During Open Monday, Hiatus invites you to the dance studio or to open spaces in the city to actively experience them.
In every session, two dancers share some of their physical practices. The aim is not so much to produce or learn a choreography, but to enrich and nourish ourselves and one another. It is a moment to share an experience, to connect and discover.
Open Monday is an invitation to start our week from a place of curiosity and generosity.
Something for me?
- Anyone can participate, as long as you are curious and enjoy exploring movement. Whether you have danced before or not, whether you are an artist, an amateur or a professional dancer, whatever your physical abilities are, you are very welcome to join. The main language of the session is English but we keep instructions simple and help translating.
- Pay what you can. We believe that everyone should have access, also regardless of financial capabilities. If you’re able to contribute 5 or 10 euro we are very grateful for your support, but it’s completely up to you. You can also participate for free. Your presence is what matters most! Your support helps us continue to offer an Open Monday to everyone. Every contribution helps us to maintain our fair pay policy for the wonderful dancers leading the sessions and to cover the cost of the studio.
- When and where? We will kick off the new season at STUK in Leuven on Monday, September 29, 2025. Starting in October, we invite you to join us every last Monday of the month at our dance studio in Brussels. Open Monday is always from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

27/4/202618:30 BrusselsHiatus - Small Studio Liz Kinoshita and Koen De Preter invite you to our next Open Monday.. As spring awakens and energies shift, we invite you to dive into the dynamic interplay of movement, exploring divisions and extremes, anchor and abandon, daring and caring. How do we generate movement from these contrasts? How do we find balance between letting go and holding on?

4/5/202618:30 LeuvenSTUK (STUK - Bodies at Work) In this Open Monday, Anneleen Keppens and Daniel Linehan will guide participants through dances that explore the body as a living archive. Each of our bodies holds layers of personal, generational, and even geological history. Through movement, we will listen to the silent stories woven into our tissues, honoring the echoes of the past that continue to dance with us today. Join us for an immersive and playful journey in which we allow the dancing to express the personal and collective memories that live within us.
25/5/202617:30 BrusselsJardins du Fleuriste - Tuinen van de bloemist (Hiatus) In this outdoor dance workshop with Peter Savel & Souleymane Sanogo, we let ourselves be guided by the rhythm of nature. What echoes of the wild Donderberg landscape weave through the stories of the garden around us? Perhaps we can answer with a dance.
