Liese Demol is a multidisciplinary artist whose work interlaces dance, writing, and textiles to explore the body as both a medium and a metaphor. Originally from Belgium and now based in Freiburg, she approaches her practice with a curiosity about how movement, language, and materiality intersect to create spaces for connection, reflection, and transformation.

At the heart of Liese’s work lies a fascination with the tactile and the physical. Drawing on her training as a dancer, she views the body as a dynamic fabric—constantly shaped by the tensions, frictions, and flows that define human experience. This perspective is mirrored in her exploration of textiles, where she treats weaving and crafting as extensions of movement: a dance of hands, rhythm, and material. Her works often investigate how the textures of life—softness, elasticity, and the imprint of time—are reflected in both the body and the objects we touch.

As a poet and writer, Liese works with language as a tool for introspection, storytelling, and connection. Her texts often mirror the sensitivity and attention to detail found in her movement and textile practices, offering poetic reflections on the nuances of being human. Whether through prose, poetry, or written prompts integrated into her workshops, Liese’s writing invites readers to engage deeply with their inner landscapes and to reflect on the delicate interplay between words, bodies, and the spaces they inhabit.

Liese’s artistic practice is rooted in the rhythms of everyday life. Whether tending to fermentation cultures, sharing meals, or experimenting with fiber and fabric, she draws inspiration from the sensory and communal aspects of daily rituals. Her creations are invitations to pause and feel: a woven piece that drapes across the body, a dance that brings unseen textures to life, or a poem that evokes the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

As a facilitator, Liese creates spaces where dance, writing, and craft intertwine, encouraging participants to experience how physicality, touch, and language can deepen their connection to themselves and the world around them. Her workshops blend movement, poetry, and tactile exploration, offering opportunities to rediscover the body as both a creative tool and a source of wisdom.

Through her work, Liese invites others to engage with softness, to embrace the nuances of texture and tension, and to find connection in the interplay between movement, making, and language.
