Femke Gyselinck

The solace, distraction, passion, joy and beauty that music can offer and its ability to express the unspeakable are an endless source of inspiration for the work of dancer and choreographer Femke Gyselinck. In this intimate and short solo she choreographs herself to music by Palmistry, Gwilym Gold and Hiatus Kaiyote. In this way she fuses music and physical expression into one voice.

Femke Gyselinck (b. 1983, Belgium) is a dancer and choreographer. After completing her studies at P.A.R.T.S in 2006, she worked as a freelance dancer with Eleanor Bauer, Andros Zins-Browne and Esther Venrooy, among others. She worked for 9 years as artistic assistant to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker/Rosas and is part of the faculty of P.A.R.T.S. In her own work Femke searches for a dance language that is closely intertwined with music and that combines a bold performativity with a fine form of expressivity. Femke Gyselinck is one of the four artistic directors of dance organization GRIP, together with choreographers Jan Martens, Cherish Menzo and Steven Michel.
