A DANCE TRIBUTE TO THE ART OF FOOTBALL - Jo Strømgren Kompani
http://jskompani.no/productions/2
A DANCE TRIBUTE TO THE ART OF FOOTBALL. A complete and utter success. I’d see it again in a heartbeat. The Gazette, Canada. It’s fun, impressive, and might make a football fan out of a dance enthusiast at the same time as it might make a dance enthusiast out of a football fan. Mooney on Theatre, Toronto. The gags are numerous and irresistible, but the choreographer also masters the art of creating inventive movements and beautiful images. Le Figaro, France. Our extensive tours with such a simple and clea...

The Border - Jo Strømgren Kompani
http://jskompani.no/productions/23
Stylish, stylized, alternately graceful and gauche, bleak and bemused, laced with often inscrutable layers of metaphor and meaning. Philadelphia City Paper, USA. A gem of a performance. (Dice 6). Excellent production that resonates on many levels. Artsmart, South Africa. A man and a woman share a workplace. Mutual respect is a virtue but beneath the surface a territorial war is taking place. And the discovery of emotional addiction. To each other, to the game itself, or a vicious mix of both. Script, dir...

THERE - Jo Strømgren Kompani
http://jskompani.no/productions/6
The result is impressive ensemble work from four performers whose look of unforced, alert connection adds to the mystery and sadness. New York Times, USA. 14 years later THERE. Still offers a great amount of theatrical magic. Wild dancing ensues, some based on contact-improv of the highest sort, performed with the agility of skilled dance artists. The Philadelphia Inquirer, USA. 13 years after its premiere, the company sets out on yet another quest to pinpoint human insecurity, with both the original cas...

Well…those days are gone. Is a much longed for new Jo Strømgren Kompani production! COCO - PREMIERE 2017. CLOSED - DANCEFILM 2017. In a remote hospital, three nurses try to endure the lack of patients by injuring then treating each other, performing their duties on themselves as an alternative to the real thing. Not a health...

A DANCE TRIBUTE TO PING PONG - Jo Strømgren Kompani
http://jskompani.no/productions/22
A DANCE TRIBUTE TO PING PONG. A treat for the eyes and a wonder of human movement. The Bogotá Post, Colombia. Dramatic, dark, sensual and beautiful. Jo Strømgren has once again dived into the seemingly inexhaustible pool of ideas that he possesses. (Dice 5). Ping Pong is not just a sport. It’s a philosophy. The intellectual recipe is a mix of Yin and Yang, Heaven and Hell, Stephen Hawking and Uri Geller, with a dash of Kahlil Gibran and Bruce Lee on top. Voiceover in optional English and French. Belgium,...
