Skånes Dansteater just premiered a new work, OUT OF THE BLUE, by acclaimed Dutch choreographer Anouk van Dijk. Skånes Dansteater joins forces with Malmö Opera Orchestra and Malmö Opera Children's Chorus in this musical journey from Bach to Björk.
OUT OF THE BLUE departs from creation myths present in cultures throughout history until present day, as a group emerge from an abstracted blue world. They collect, invent and parade artefacts from lost, threatened or imagined worlds in ever-changing processions, uniting, colliding and joining forces again. Out of the Blue celebrates the power of the imagination, and the resilience to adapt to unstable conditions as we prepare for a future yet unknown. OUT OF THE BLUE world premiered at Malmö Opera (SE), 4 Dec 2021. Read more about OUT OF THE BLUE here. ”a festively colourful Christmas cracker to enjoy this holiday season, complete with gold trimming, sparkles and a confetti shower.” Sydsvenskan (SE)

Now the work returns to Stockholm (SE) with performances at Folkoperan 2-3 June 2022.Play the opening of the Goldberg Variations to someone today, and usually, they all have heard it – whether in its original form, one of the many transcribed and transposed versions, or in a completely different setting in a totally different genre. It started life as a study for harpsichord; a simple aria, and a set of 30 variations where the aria functions as a hard drive for the whole work. 2015, Örjan Andersson (Andersson Dance) and Jonathan Morton (Scottish Ensemble) added their own. 11 musicians and 5 dancers perform Goldberg Variations as equal partners – both choreographed, the result is a singular experience of musician and dancer performing as one. For more info go here. Production: Andersson Dance, Scottish Ensemble & Nordberg Movement. Co-production: Andersson Dance, Scottish Ensemble, Regionteatern Blekinge Kronoberg & Riksteatern 2015. Made possible with generous support by The Swedish Arts Council, Stockholm Stad, Region Stockholm, Musikverket, and Creative Scotland. Additional school performance presented in collaboration with DANSISTAN. Find out more about Andersson Dance at madeintheweb.com | |
