Duo with dancer Charlotte Vanden Eynde
For Dansand! 2012 (arts centre Vrijstaat O.), dancer Charlotte Vanden Eynde and pianist Christian Mendoza created a unique improvisation on the beach of Ostend, First Date. It was a first artistic meeting between both artists, where dance and music engaged in dialogue as equal partners. They were inspired by the impact of the surroundings and asked themselves: ‘what kind of force is generated by a ‘living’ environment?’ and ‘how can the body relate itself to an area such as the beach and the sea? What influence does that have on the self-esteem and consciousness of that body?’.

"The pair proved that improvisation is (can be) synonymous with mutual inspiration and a masterful play with the stimuli of the surroundings (…).” (Knack.be)
