Sammy Van den Heuvel — scenography

Each space grows within a specific frame that is shaped through dialogue; with the director, with the choreographer, with the text, the music, the materials, with the dramaturg, with the production team, with the artists and builders in the workshops, with the stage technicians. Ultimately, the built space engages in a dialogue with the performers, and, through them, in a conversation with the audience.

Sammy Van den Heuvel (°1985) is a freelance scenographer based in Antwerp, Belgium. After completing his architecture studies, he quickly found his way to the performing arts. He studied scenography with Katleen Vinck and later found a mentor in scenographer Annette Kurz. Starting out as an assistant to other scenographers, he soon began creating his own work. Collaborations with Giacomo Veronesi, Jorinde Keesmaat, Tiago Rodrigues and Johan Simons, among others, have taken him to venues across Europe. A long-standing collaboration connects him to the Dutch dance company Panama Pictures, led by choreographer Pia Meuthen, who creates her work in the context of his spaces.

His work is the visual condensation of a many-layered process of conversations, frictions and explorations.
