vision
The vision is to foster diverse and movement-rich artistic interaction with the audience. The goal is to lower the threshold for engaging with dance as an art form, recognizing that for many in society, dance can feel unfamiliar or inaccessible.

dance is movement
Movement-rich dance is upheld, nurtured, and continuously developed. The audience is offered works where movement is the central focus of the performance. The dancers’ bodily capacity for expression is highly valued.
