ashleyho+domeniknaue

ashleyho+domeniknaue is a collection of limbs and hearts. They create transmedial performative encounters, blending dance, poetry, graphic design, and scenographic experiments. For them, performance is a social practice—a political yet intimate process of transformation. Their work doesn’t focus on fixed themes but proposes a way of being in the world, confronting harsh realities through vulnerability and playfulness. Like archaeologists, they dig into hyper-personal stories, turning them into physical experiences that spark collective imagination.

Their collaboration is rooted in friendship and supported by institutions like Dansateliers, workspacebrussels, Over het IJ, De Nieuwe Oost, CAMPO, and Dance Nucleus. Their work has been presented in the Netherlands, Singapore, Belgium, and Indonesia. Both graduated from the Dance Artist programme at ArtEZ University of the Arts in 2022 and are now based in Amsterdam, working across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Singapore.

From 2024 to 2026, they will embark on a two-year development trajectory with the Nieuwe Makers Regeling, in partnership with Dansateliers and SPRING Performing Arts Festival. Last Portrait is the first project made within this trajectory.

ashley+domenik were also present at 2023 and 2024 at SPRING with work-in-progress during OFFSPRING.
