NO DANCING<\/strong><\/p>\n Get to know one of the world's top choreographers, his down-to-earth humour and distinctive movement language. I Dance Step <\/em>Mats Ek's 20-year-old company Norrdans combines angular gestures with music to create their own universe on a dance floor.<\/p>\n \"Mats Ek's exuberant Pas de danse, inspired by Benny Andersson's and Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus' cheerful accordion swing, is given real body in Bj\u00f6rn Nilsson's quick-footed, confident interpretation of the dance floor's big ego. Charming and stubborn, he wipes snot with his fist and dances his arse off.\"<\/em> \/Anna \u00c5ngstr\u00f6m in SvD 11 December 2008<\/p>\n \"The work is a small humorous scherzo, which to folk music - harmonica, accordion and violin - seems to illustrate the mating game of the dance floor.\" \/.<\/em>Helsingborgs Dagblad, 22 October 2008<\/p>\n BLACK FAIRYTALE #2<\/strong><\/p>\n Med Black Fairytale #2 <\/em>Israeli choreographers Yossi Berg and Oded Graf take us on a highly topical roller coaster ride. We are thrown between war and love, between dreams and harsh reality. In this musical choreography for eight dancers, Norrdans also presents a manifesto for a future Utopia.<\/p>\n \"Black Fairytale digs beneath the shiny surface and explores less discussed issues such as prejudice and racism\".<\/em>The Copenhagen Post, 11 May 2012<\/p>\n \"Razor-sharp with intricate layers, lyrics that masquerade as clich\u00e9s and wrapped in an astute awareness with a delightful wink.\"\/.<\/em> The Jerusalem Post, 21 August 2012<\/p>\n YXA <\/strong>Premiere!<\/p>\n YXA<\/em> has been created directly for Ana Laguna, court dancer and Yvan Auzely, dancer and actor at Dramaten. Both have worked with Mats Ek for a long time and for many years co-created a number of his works in the original version; such as Giselle, Swan Lake and Carmen to name a few.

\nThe solo 'Aj\u00f6' was created by Mats Ek for world-famous French ballerina Sylvie Guillem, first as a stage version and then as a dance film for Swedish Television. The film revolves around a woman saying goodbye to a certain stage of her life. It is a conversation she has with herself that leads to new experiences. The work premiered in London in 2011 but was previewed exclusively at Dansens Hus in the winter of 2010.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
