Amber Vandenhoeck studied In Situ Arts and Scenography at the Royal Academy of Antwerp. In 2009 she joined the Brussels Peeping Tom Dance Company as a technician, but soon began designing the stage design for their performances. She designed stage sets for the globally touring plays “A Louer”, “Vader” and “Moeder”. To this day she works with the ensemble and produces works with Gabriela Carrizo such as “The Land” for the Residenztheater, “La Ruta” for the Nederlands Dans Theater and “La Visita”, which was co-produced by the Fondazione Maramotti and awarded with the Fedora Prize for Dance. Collaborations with other directors and companies in the areas of dance, performance and musical theater have followed. Her collaboration with Karin Beier started in 2021 with the stage design for "Aus Dem Leben" in the MalerSaal of Schauspielhaus Hamburg.
She has ongoing collaborations with David Marton (Staatsoper Berlin), Kor’sia Dance Company (Madrid), Béatrice Lachaussee (Paris), Julien Chavaz (Magdeburg), Tomoko Mukaiyama (Tokyo), Lost Dog Dance (UK), Marcos Darbyshire, Post uit Hessdalen, Kyoko Scholiers… Her work is both graphically and architecturally inspired, with a focus on surreal and hyperrealistic spaces.
