Voetvolk (Dutch for “infantry”) is a Belgian contemporary dance and performance company, founded in 2007 by dancer/ choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and musician/ composer Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. The company’s work is an ongoing conversation between physicality and sound, with Gruwez and Van Cauwenberghe achieving an organic symbiosis within a fixed frame. Together they have created more than 10 productions that have been shown at the Festival d’Avignon, Festival de Marseille, Julidans, Tanz im August, Dance Umbrella and the Venice Biennale, among others. Voetvolk is allied to KC Nona, the Royal Flemish Theatre and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, and is company-in-residence at Theater Freiburg.
