Daniel Vorthuys is a poet based in Amsterdam (NL). His work explores the heritage of the western classical tradition through its stories of metamorphosis, transforming this tradition into a mythology of alien and unstable subject-hood. His writing is geared towards performance and video introducing elements of music and costume.

Cold in Church is a musical/performative collective that I co-founded together with the members Cécile Tafanelli, Charlott Weise, and Dan Walwin. Collaborations with Treignac Projet, France, have resulted in theater and improvization projections alongside songwriting, and recording. Giovanni Giaretta, Faysal Mroueh, Jacob Dwyer, and Helena Sanders have joined and contributed on recent projects.
