Marc Vanrunxt has been at work as a dancer and choreographer for more than twenty years. His dance training was influenced above all by Central European dance, but the protestations of punk were at least as important. He made his debut as a choreographer in 1981, and since then has created more than thirty works of choreography. He has never conformed to trends, nor has he built up an extensive set of norms. His work is highly individual, even puzzling, hovering between mysticism and materialism. As a consequence he occupies a unique position in the dance world that can be rediscovered again and again.Vanrunxt attempts repeatedly to redefine choreography as a composition of physicality in motion. He pursues the distillation of this composition, a dance that is intended to leave the world and enter the image, while remaining keenly aware of the matter that surrounds and guides the dance. Earnestness, control and composition are crossed with winks, chaos and quotations. (Quelle: www.sinarts.org)
