The project company is funded by the Swedish Arts Council 2012 – 2014 and the Cultural Capital of Stockholm and performs about 40 shows a year. The repertoire consists of smaller and larger pieces, purposely created to fit the larger, traditional venues and be transferred to smaller, alternative venues.
Current group of dancers working with Andersson Dance:
Nuria Guiu Sagarra, Asher Lev, Jenna Fakhoury and Shi Pratt, Stockholm, Dec 2011
Andersson Dance is analogous to Örjan Andersson’s artistry and a language of movements derived from vastly different experiences of creating choreographic works. This language and his fascination with space and the part we as humans take hold of it for a limited time, bas been and still is in focus. Whatever the context, this side of the choreographer has been the common denominator – the movement in space and time.
