Helma Melis’ appearance is as colourful as her dance performances are. Anyone who has ever laid eyes on Helma Melis (35), is unlikely to forget the eccentric choreographer anytime soon (red hair, blue mascara, short multicolour dresses). The same goes for the productions Melis creates with her company from Den Bosch, LaMelis, in which everything is in exquisite harmony, with vivid colours, a naive symbolism, clever inventions and a sporty dance vocabulary. Her unique work would fit in wonderfully in the world of fashion and design. Melis, who was born in Flanders but has been working in Brabant for years, possesses a keen eye for form, colour, style, and unexpected accents. Sometimes she will decide on a world full of shiny hard plastics for her settings, and sometimes on an environment made out of soft, rolling green hills. Whatever she decides on, everything is always in perfect harmony and would be perfect for a report in an exclusive magazine for comfortable living.
