Niek Vanoosterweyck(BE/NL), born in Antwerp in 1997, is a mimer and interactive performance artist.
I have completed my Mime studies at the Amsterdam School of the Arts(2020), Word-Art Drama in PiusX Antwerp (2016) and a preparatory course at MOB Antwerp(2016).
I strive to design interactive spaces in which performers can control light and sound live with their bodies through an invisible interface. I hope to challenge viewers and participants to reconsider their perceptions of space and physicality in a society based on mixed reality. I encourage a bodily reflection on the relationship between humans and technology and its impact on our understanding of autonomy and physical existence.

I have worked with partners such as Ulrike Quade Company, Theater aan de Rijn, GrandTheaterGroningen, PerformanceTechnologyLab, DansBrabant, HetBos, Dansvitrine, BAU performance platform, and MOB. These partners have shared development space and expertise to support projects.
My work has been exhibited at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, DGTL Festival, Parade Amsterdam, HetBos Antwerp and OHIJFestival.
Stimuleringsfonds, AFK, Funds for Cultural participation, Grensverleggers fund and Amare have supported my work.
