Voetvolk / Lisbeth Gruwez & Maarten Van Cauwenberghe

Anger is a dual force: on the one hand destructive, on the other a catalyst for change, a response to imbalance. In the solo 'Tempest', Lisbeth Gruwez draws on martial arts to channel raw energy into focused strength. An oscillating body that moves between chaotic sharp surges of energy and the potential for a quiet clarity held at its centre.

'Tempest' explores how to welcome a storm within, integrating its force instead of resisting it. It is a dance through the eye of the storm—or rather, a dance that seeks to open an eye in the storm—a single, energetic, glowing point.

Voetvolk is the dance company of dancer/choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and musician/composer Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. Their work is often highly visual, powerful and expressive, full of improvisation, performance elements, and a razor-sharp dialogue between dance and sound design.
