Danielle Huyghe
Danielle Huyghe (1997) was raised in Belgium, where she was trained to be a contemporary dancer and dance maker at Kunsthumaniora Hedendaagse Dans in Antwerp. After her graduation, she chose to continue her studies at the Bachelor of Dance at ArtEZ (Arnhem). During her education she developed herself as a dance maker and performed her work several times outside of school, a.o. Its Festival, Deventer Schouwburg, Theater aan de Rijn and Huis Oostpool. Next to this she gained experience by working with choreographers Anton Lachky, Iris Bouche, Filip van Huffel, Ann van den Broek, Yasemin Kandemir, Karin Heyninck, Dario Torterelli and Caroline Finn.
As a maker Danielle researches how sound, costuming, physicality and other elements attribute to the atmosphere of a piece and can have an alienating effect.
