The artistic work is in direct contact with the world around us and it is characterized by openness, challenge, and risk-taking.

The body and the movement are always the core of the work and it is often integrated with interactive elements that lead to emotions, understanding, and insights that are difficult to reach whit a sitting audience.

THE DAWN CHORUS reflects the hour between day and night. The meeting between those who awaken and tread the streets towards jobs that keep the wheels turning, and those stumbling home after a night on the town. THE DAWN CHORUS invites the audience to visit a moment at dawn when the fog both covers the fields and the dance floors. Choreographer Stina Nyberg and Norrdans blur the border between the real and the magical as the mystical hours of dawn harken for possibilities and change. The performance explores this time of day and night with undertones of environmentalism, speculative dystopia, and a belief that humanity is at its strongest when we work together. Info and tickets here.
THE DAWN CHORUS premieres on 10 Mar 2022 at Dansens Hus/Elverket, Stockholm (SE).

What is this hunger that drives us? HOOKED is a wake-up call in a scenic hybrid of dance, ritual, visual art, and performance art.

Lewis, the Italian/German choreographer and performance artist Morgan Nardi, as well as the acclaimed, border-defying Swedish visual artist Peter Johansson.
