Since 3 decades Marie Louise Gilcher is exploring the many aspects of dance. Starting out as a peformer with amongst others Arthur Rosenfeld, RB Jerome Bel and Xavier LeRoy, she expanded into teaching dance students, (former) dance professionals as well as amateurs. In her classes and projects she encourages dancers to discover their own dance with a playful and curious attitude and she stimulates their expressive potential. In 2010 she founded an (amateur-)dancegroep voor older dancers: De Dansgemeenschap. She started to dance with persons with dementia in elderly homes. Becoming a dance therapist allowed her to delve even more into the connection of body and mind in the therpeutic context. Dance connects the knowledge of the moving body with it's creative potential.
