ashleyho+domeniknaue is a collection of limbs and hearts. We create transmedial performative encounters, playing across dance, poetry, music, and scenographic experiments.
We believe in performance as a social practice—a political, intimate process of transforming and being transformed. More than a consistent focus on specific thematics, our works propose a way of being with the world, that confronts harshness through vulnerability and playfulness. We work like archaeologists, excavating hyper-personal documents and translating them into physical experiences that fuel collective imagination.
Our collaboration has been nurtured by friendship, as well as support from institutions such as Dansateliers, workspacebrussels, Over het IJ, De Nieuwe Oost, CAMPO, and Dance Nucleus. Our work has been presented in festivals such as Moving Futures, FAT Leiden, Dansand, Over het IJ, Offspring (SPRING Utrecht), and contact Contemporary Dance Festival.
We graduated from the Dancer/Maker Bachelor’s programme at ArtEZ University of the Arts in 2022, and are currently based in Amsterdam, working between the Netherlands, Belgium, and Singapore.
