Noortje Bijvoets
With an open curiosity and a craving for stories Noortje Bijvoets connects people through dance as choreographer, trainer and teacher. Being a professional dancer since 1989 Noortje Bijvoets danced with many established choreographers amongst Truus Bronkhorst, Hans Tuerlings, Leine-Roebana, Gonnie Heggen, Rotterdamse dansgroep, Théàtre à Chatillon and in many works of Le Grand Cru. In 2000 she extended her activities for Le Grand Cru as a choreographer and trainer/teacher and became member of the artistic direction for all intercultural activities. Her focus lies on training, choreography and developing educational programmes around international performances.
Feri de Geus
By combining the unique backgrounds of anthropologist and choreographer, Feri de Geus bridges cultures through dance. Since 1989, he has created around 70 evening length performances and shorter pieces. He was the initiator of Coup d' Amour, a successful collective of three choreographers. Feri de Geus continued in 1994 as an independent choreographer operating under the foundation le Grand Cru. His Dutch oeuvre has been supported by the ministry of Education and Culture and many other art donors and has been presented in many countries. Since 2000 his core artistic work has shifted towards intercultural performances with partners all over the world. Both on a 'grassroots' and a professional level.
