BALL
Iceland Dance Company presents: Ball
A performance by artist duo Alexander Roberts and Ásrún Magnúsdóttir.
„Ég labbaði út með brosverki, illt í höndunum af klappi og uppveðraður yfir því hvað lífið getur verið geggjað.“
– Atli Már (RÚV)
„Hef eiginlega aldrei séð svona fallega hyllingu á dansi sem tjáningu og hvöt og listformi og útrás.“
– Guðrún Sóley (Kastljós)
„Ég gekk út af verkinu ástfangin. Ástfangin af listinni. Ástfangin af dansi. Ástfangin af manneskjunni og ástfangin af lífinu.“
– Alma Mjöll Ólafsdóttir (Heimildin)
Ball is performed by a diverse group of amateur and professional dancers – a break dancer from the 1980’s, a retired ballerina, a ballroom star, a Freestyle legend, a bollywood dancer, a street dancer, Iceland Dance Company dancers, a go-go dancer, a dance student and a modern dancer who loves to dance to Bob Marley. The thing that unites everyone in this group is the love for dance.
Ball makes space for dance lovers of many ages, backgrounds, experiences and body types to take to the stage and dance together.
Everybody brings a dance, chooses their own music, and finds a way of sharing that dance with the group. At the same time, just like in a ball, it is not only about virtuosity or the brilliance of each dance, it is also about the experience that comes from dancing these dances together.
Dancers: Andrean Sigurgeirsson, Ásdís Ingvadóttir, Einar Snorri Einarsson, Elín Signý W. Ragnarsdóttir, Emilía B. Gísladóttir, Erna Gunnarsdóttir, Haukur Valdimar Pálsson, Ingibjörg Björnsdóttir, Ingólfur Björn Sigurðsson, Luis Lucas, Marta Ákadóttir, Shota Inoue, Yesmine Olsson, Þórir Leó Kristjánsson
