kwaad bloed [bad blood] is the organisational structure centred around choreographer Ugo Dehaes. He is fascinated by the human body and the person who inhabits that body.

In his work Ugo always uses his personal experience as a member of the audience. His aim is to induce the audience to give free rein to its imagination and to marvel at what it is seeing. That is why we speak of radical accessible performances: they originate from one clear, core idea yet they are deliberately kept sober. Ugo is a master craftsman and believes in the power and appeal to the audience of a body pushing itself to the limits. kwaad bloed chooses to work for longer running periods, building repertory and making optimal use of its resources.

Ugo has picked up the gauntlet to develop greater public support for dance and raise awareness of his own artistic story internationally.
