_ Approach to Work
"Body, space, musicality are the means for and the contents of dance; its topics are the movements, the dancers, the human being. Danced movement cannot be verbalised. It represents nothing, but only refers back to itself, just like music - the rest takes place in the heads of the audience" (Dan Pelleg)
"I am preoccupied with dance and theatre as means for the exploration of human relationships. In rehearsals I
try to experiment with the performers . The participants are always also subjects of observation in the scope which are created thus. To use movement and text in an undogmatic way, adjusted to the possibilities and needs of the topic." (Sommer Ulrickson)

_ Current Production
"Äug".
Where do you come from? Damned questions. Reports which
delude. Information which hushes up. Observation which turns into power.
