Dance art of the Flemisch choreographer Erwin Wauters

30/06/2008

Works from 1996 - 2004

From an early age Erwin was drawn more to the creation of dance art than to physically dancing himself, eventhough he danced in loads of productions, because that experience was both inevitable as a good learning process.
"It is something I cannot control, this desire to see something evolve in front of me, to create something from nothing. It is not always easy and it often keeps you up at night, but it excites me and drives me forward. It is like living on the edge of a roller-coaster, sometimes tremendous and sometimes stress inducing, but the end result is always incredibly satisfying and I would not change the process for the world."
