Get ready for the kickoff of another powerful celebration of the physical exuberance of football and dance! In HATTRICK, our coproduction with Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz (München), a 2015 version of JSK’s acclaimed football performance forms part of a dance evening circling around the myths and realities of football and masculinity.
This spring Jo Strømgren Kompani has a collaboration project with Czech dance company 420PEOPLE and the festival TANECVALMEZ, including both A DANCE TRIBUTE TO PING PONG and A DANCE TRIBUTE TO THE ART OF FOOTBALL.
After a fun week of workshops in Oslo at Spin OFF, the dancers of Polish Dance Theatre have gone back to Poznan. Today they start the spring tour of our coproduction Czterdziesci in Krosno. Saturday they perform in Krakow at the Malopolski Ogrod Sztuk. See our schedule for more dates!
