ARTISTIC POLICY London based h2dance presents the joint choreography and direction of Artistic Directors Hanna Gillgren (Sweden) and Heidi Rustgaard (Norway). The work draws on the diverse interests of the pair to create dynamic, thought-provoking and frequently ironical dance performances with a live art edge. The work blends fast-paced movement with text, song, film and design elements, which directly communicates with an audience.
REVIEW EXTRACT 'Sensationally smart, sexy and risk-taking entertainment.' Dance Now (Silent Movie)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Silent Movie h2dance’s latest full-length production is inspired by the superficially elegant and dangerously exciting world of 1940s film noir. Combining daring choreography with live projection, Silent Movie is a slick and humorous two-hander performed by Rustgaard and Gillgren. (60 mins no interval, 2 on stage, 3 on the road)
FUTURE PRODUCTION To Die For New production incorporating live video projection, premiering March 2007 (duration tbc, 3 on stage)
WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY Energetic workshops for all ages and abilities, in both education and community settings. The company has developed a distinctive outreach and education program that fuses the key elements of its work. By exploring relevant subject matter, participants develop a range of skills including dance, theatre and social skills.
