About Voetvolk
---
Voetvolk is a dance/performance group founded around dancer and choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and composer Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. Since its foundation in 2006, Voetvolk has developed its activities as an international contemporary dance and performance company with a strong base in Antwerp and Flanders.
Voetvolk functions as an autonomous and independent structure, relying on a network of co-producers and partners to realize its projects. Lisbeth Gruwez and Maarten Van Cauwenberghe are currently ‘Artists-in-Residence’ in the Troubleyn /Laboratorium of Jan Fabre.
Main theme's and interests lie in résistance, Durchlassigkeit and krautrock -music that provokes an instant physical reaction- or to say briefly in the motto:
THROW YOUR BODY IN THE FRONTLINE

---
For Lisbeth Gruwez, choreography, is about the concepts acquire, retain and lose. The concept of resistance is present in the study of all choreographies.
Lisbeth’s study always starts from the body, the body that is upset, the body language that, consciously or not, interprets an emotion or thought. Lisbeth chooses a dance language based on an emotional state with a view to translating this impulse into a suitable form, a movement, a picture, a scenic language.
