De Ambulanten
Bio
De Ambulanten is a collective initiated by Rasa Alksnyte, Justine Maxelon, and Ann Weckx.
Rasa Alksnyte is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on participatory practices and actions. In recent years, she is particularly active in working with neurodiverse groups and people from other vulnerable strata of society. She is a member of international network FoAM and artistic collaborator at MUS-E.
Justine Maxelon is a dancer and performance artist whose artistic practice explores the relationship between voice, body and environment. Her work deals with improvisation, structures of repetition, vocal identities, listening and care. In 2015, she founded oracle, a body-voice practice, with Caroline Daish and Michel Yang. She is a member of the core group of State of the Arts and Engagement Arts.
Ann Weckx worked in the performing arts for 25 years, first as a costume designer, later also as a scenographer. Since 2016, she has been working part-time at TOPAZ, the palliative, supportive day centre at UZ Brussel, where she creates connections between culture and care. She also creates her own artistic work, such installations and photos.
