Lisbeth Gruwez & Maarten Van Cauwenberghe // WASCO

Ten kids and a big supply of paint. When jazz sounds through the speakers, the group gets moving. Lines appear and traces of color
emerge. Gradually the children appropriate the space, which they transform into a three-dimensional painting.

Choreographer Lisbeth Gruwez and musician Maarten van Cauwenberghe explore the interface between drawing and dance in
WASCO! The spontaneous and authentic actions of the children shape the choreography. The soundtrack consists of jazz tracks from the period when action painting originated, whose impulsiveness helps inspire this performance. If freedom has a form, what does it look like?

WASCO! is an invitation to search for a renewed sense of freedom. An explosive action painting performance. Unbridled, chaotic and wild. And sometimes gentle.

- Choreography actually means drawing in space. And that’s what we’re going to do now. Lisbeth
