Bruno Heynderickx

Artistic director and CEO

After graduating in 1986, from the Stedelijk Instituut voor Ballet, Antwerp, Bruno Heynderickx made an international career dancing for some of Europe’s renowned dance companies; Scapino, Ballet du Nord, Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Rui Horta Stage Works and more. He danced in a wide spectrum of repertoire ranging from the classic’s to the most contemporary work, and has created works alongside Amanda Miller, Nils Christe, Ed Wubbe and Rui Horta.

Heynderickx met Portuguese dance maverick Rui Horta in 1998, becoming Horta’s artistic assistant and went on to restage several of his works as well as working as guest teacher with different European dance companies and regularly being invited to teach repertoire and composition workshops.

In 2000 Heynderickx aided Horta in the development of the multi-disciplinary arts and residency centre O Espaço do Tempo, where he assumed the responsibilities as international public relation officer, as well as tour manager for the company.

Under the leadership of Rui Horta, he was part of the development and became general coordinator of ECL COLINA – a European project in collaboration with: Dance City Newcastle (UK), Tanzhaus NRW, Düsseldorf (D), Kanuti Gildi Saal, Tallinn (EE), GRAN teater for Dans, Aarhus (DK), O Espaço do Tempo, Montemor-o-Novo (PT) Théâtre les Bernardines, Marseille (FR). Funded by a grant from the EU Culture 2000 program, ECL COLINA was an inter-disciplinary research laboratory. It provided upcoming and established artists from different artistic fields (dance, theatre, visual arts, contemporary music, architecture, new media) a platform to collaborate and research together.

In 2004 he began to manage and disseminate the work of several other artists/companies, funding the CAMPAI vzw in 2005, a trans-national production and management agency based in Belgium. CAMPAI vzw was representing the work of six creators/companies that work within contemporary dance and theatre or the cross paths in between. Amongst these companies Ina Christel Johannessen’s zero visibility corp.

Since August 2008 Heynderickx has been CEO and Artistic Director of Carte Blanche. He seeks to further extend the dissemination of the company’s excellence on a broader Scandinavian and international level, as well as to further widen their audience base.
