Ceciel van Slobbe

Ceciel van Slobbe has been combining movement, costumes and light in performances since 2017. After her bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, she worked as a design engineer for a few years, but decided that she wanted to focus full-time on the elements that brought her joy at a young age; Movement & Sewing. By combining this with her interest in light art, she developed Be The Disco Ball. She focuses on the use of body movements as an operator of the light show. The body movements of a dancer express the feelings of the music. With her work, she magnifies those movements with light reflections and lets those movements speak throughout the space. She works on different ways in which her costumes can reflect or refract light. Mirror suits, prism suits and UV suits are part of her creations. Together with the lighting technicians from her team, she enhances the effect by combining it with time-code light shows.
