Hybrid dance for hybrid spaces
Motionhouse is a non-profit organisation dedicated to telling stories through art. We create spaces for new conversations, dissolving boundaries between art forms and inviting audiences to cross-pollinate across disciplines. Rooted in curiosity, our practice thrives on research, experimentation, and collaboration—challenging conventions to uncover new pathways of expression. Dance movement is our canvas, a physical language through which ideas interconnect and evolve.
Our work unfolds in a constellation of spaces: from theatres, galleries, and museum halls to living rooms, abandoned power plants, and digital screens. Each project is born from a transdisciplinary approach, merging movement with cinema, sound, and technology to craft immersive worlds that transcend form and genre.
Inspired by speculative fiction, our creations imagine alternate realities and future landscapes. They probe shifting notions of time, identity, and embodiment—blurring the line between real and imagined, and inviting audiences into dreamscapes, virtual realms, and the intimate terrain of memory.
For us, technology is not just a tool but a co-creator—an extension of the choreographic imagination. Through dialogue with innovators across fields, we expand the possibilities of storytelling, forging experiences that resonate across borders—both literal and conceptual.
Jamie Lee is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural worker born in Canada, raised in Boorloo (Perth), Australia, and of Malaysian heritage. Working across dance, direction, choreography, and cultural management, her practice explores themes of identity, world-making, belonging, and decolonisation. Alongside her artistic work, she develops and manages creative projects that bring together artists, communities, and young people, using collaborative and participatory approaches to create opportunities for cultural exchange, artistic expression, and collective storytelling. Her work is driven by an interest in building inclusive creative spaces and exploring how art can foster connection, dialogue, and new ways of imagining the world.
Together, we bring a complementary, end-to-end skill set spanning artistic research, creative direction, choreography, film production, emerging technologies, cultural management, and community engagement, enabling us to develop projects from initial concept and research through creation, production, and audience engagement.
We are based in Brussels, Belgium.
As a collective, they also run a film agency called Nexage that focuses on impact media.
