Biography
Robin Nimanong aka ROBBEDUZ (they/them) develops queer art rooted in dance and performance. Graduated with a bachelor's degree at Modern Theater Dance in Amsterdam (2017). Their work today, is strongly driven by their queer identity and Thai background. They combine queer identity and queer theory as frameworks for intimate collaborations crossing borders between technology, visual art, fashion and underground ‘subcultural influences.
Their work amplifies queer and POC narratives and holds a continuous dialogue on decoloniality, queer ecology and future-forward thinking. While breaking with binary visions, Nimanong creates interdisciplinary realms within theatre spaces and beyond.

Their non-binary approach, reshapes language, and liberates inner worlds. Questioning and reshaping (white & western) culture. Research is strongly informed by their Thai roots & sense of diaspora. Frameworks that arise within dance and embodiment are: meditation, resistance and celebration.

Their work is felt both as escapism and as realm resisting western society. They play with online grids on stage, where transformation and transmutation takes place. This could be a visual grid through projection, or a liminal space existing out of water. Though surreal, the counterstrategy (against the norm) by Robbeduz collaborative queer projects, are strongly reflecting on experiences of our current world.

Decoloniality has been researched through personal intuitive studio time, self-guided projects, and life experience as queer POC. But has also been nourished through residencies especially focussing on the topic: Thinking in the Ether (DOX Utrecht, Natanda, Lessgoodidea), Studio88 (Thailand), Decoloniality in the context of the Netherlands (FashionClash).
