My name is Marc van Loon (Arnhem, 1966).
For over 20 years I have choreographed and initiated many interdisciplinary dance performances, club events and dinner shows on different locations. Next to my free lance work, I have sustained a position as contemporary dance teacher and program curator at Fontys Dance Academy in Tilburg.
In the early nineties I graduated in Theater Science (University of Utrecht) and Modern Theater Dance (Amsterdam School of the Arts). Shortly after, I followed my heart to New York City and worked as dancer in the studios of postmodernist artists Merce Cunningham and Erick Hawkins (a.o.). Back in Amsterdam I toured many years in the works of Truus Bronkhorst & Marien Jongewaard (amongst others).
In 2020 I graduated from the master Creative Producing at DAS Graduate School: Creative Producing (2018-2020).
With Iconic*stories I focus on placemaking. Truly listening to stories that deserved to be heard, especially in the context of the LGBTQ+ community.
Club culture has enriched us with collaboration of many art forms in direct interaction with our audiences. My background in dance has taught me to believe in the power of poetic activism.
