Chantal Yzermans — Choreographer, Performer & Interdisciplinary Artist

Belgian choreographer and performer Chantal Yzermans, born in Ostend, has built a career spanning over two decades, dedicating her work to contemporary dance, artistic research, and the exploration of interdisciplinary approaches and innovative presentation contexts.

As the founder of RADICAL LOW, a continually evolving collective that thrives on collaborations with visual artists, musicians, and scientists, she investigates our shifting relationship with iconic works of art—how they are interpreted, mediated, and reimagined.

After a nomadic journey dedicated to her career in cities such as New York, Madrid, and Paris, Yzermans moved to the medieval village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in the Lot region of France, where she has been based since 2020.

Taking a break from her personal creative practice, she shifted her focus to spearheading RADICALE1924—a four-year artistic residency project in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. This initiative underscores her dedication to nurturing artistic exploration and collaboration, marking a new phase in her journey as she reexamines the role and significance of culture amidst an uncertain future..
