Klaas Devos’ (1985 - he) artistic practice focus on the impact modes perception and attention on bodily states. His dance research and choreographic work centres around what the dancer and its spectator experiences as bodily sensations during dance. Since five years the work focuses on dance technologization as new modes for experiencing bodily sensitivity in dance through more-than-human or less-than-human means. The work is articulated in performance, installation, and interactive experiments, presented on International arts and research festivals and conferences.

Born in Bruges (BE), Devos completed dance studies at the Conservatoire Antwerp, P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios), and a.pass (advanced performance studios) in Brussels. He graduated with great distinction in theatre and film studies at the University of Antwerp and finalises a PhD in the arts at UAntwerp and RCA. He is active in the pedagogical field as program coordinator of 7Dance, a dance program preparing international student for higher dance education at Kunsthumaniora Brussels, and actively teaches dance improvisation, technosomatic dance workshops, and as a mentor and lecturer in dance studies and dance research at different arts institutes in Belgium.
