MARC VANRUNXT

"Marc Vanrunxt has been one of the key figures of the Antwerp dance scene since the beginning of the 1980s. He was taught by An Slootmaekers, but soon he began to develop a choreographic style of his own. He has worked as a dancer and choreographer with Jan Fabre, Catherine Massin, Truus Bronkhorst and the groups Fac’t and Nationaal Fonds. During the nineties he found shelter with De Beweeging. In his own productions, in which his predilection for symbolism, kitsch, baroque and mysticism becomes apparent, he is often inspired by artists and movements in music and the visual arts. He has collaborated with such artists as Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven and Robert Cash." (argos festival 2005 catalogue)
