Loraine Dambermont
Loraine Dambermont is a dancer and choreographer. Through a blend of different techniques, from hip hop to contemporary dance, including popping and floor work, she creates an explosive energy.
Loraine Dambermont, Belgian artist, creates explosive choreographies from hyper coordinated movement on a complex and meticulous musical composition. With her project « Mes Années Bagarre », she questions the violence and absurdity of virilist caricatures with self-mockery as the driving force behind her artistic approach. The first Opus Toujours de 3/4 face! – selection Aerowaves 23 – has been touring internationally since 2021. His next creation T’façon on est en 2012 will be presented at the Théâtre de Liège for the Biennale Charleroi Danse in October 2025.
After graduating from Codarts and The Theaterschool – Academy of Dance and Arts in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, she focused on developing her own body language working towards creating an explosive energy. Her background is a mix of several dance techniques; from Hip-hop to Contemporary dance, focusing mainly on popping and floor work.
In 2013, she won a choreographic award for Buy My City, a duet with Noora Hannula; a decisive encounter in her professional career.
As a performer, she has long danced with Compagnies 1 des si / Etienne Rochefort (FR) and The Nordic Beasts / Noora Hannula (DK). At the same time, she has worked with, among others, Michèle Anne De Mey (Be), Itamar Serussi Sahar (IL), Beppie Blankert (NL), Mute Comp. Physical theater (DK) and recently Leslie Mannès (BE). The real turning point in her career as a choreographer was her latest creation (2021) entitled Toujours de 3⁄4 face!, a one-woman show selected at Aerowaves Spring Forward Twenty23 which is currently enjoying a substantial international tour, counting to date, a program of more than 60 dates in around twenty countries.
Since October 2023, she has been supported by BLOOM Project, which now handles the development, production and distribution of her projects.
