Marita Schwanke is an artist based in Belgium and Germany. She was born in Hamburg, Germany. In childhood, she discovered her passion for dance and movement. The mediums of dance and writing are her main forms of expression, research, and performance, but photography, drawing, music, and acting are also present in her practice.

As a choreographer and performer, it is important to her to connect with the audience — to enter into a conversation of artistic expression that hopefully leaves an imprint and awakens curiosity.
