Touching the soul<br />
Scapino Ballet<br />
with magic, richness<br />
Rotterdam<br />
and beauty<br />
Scapino Ballet Rotterdam wants its performances to touch the soul, to show people the magic,<br />
richness and beauty of dance. The company is searching for authenticity, something to believe<br />
in. Scapino Ballet Rotterdam produces dance that is right on the cutting edge. Exciting dance<br />
by inspired artists and virtuoso dancers with something to say.<br />
Scapino Ballet Rotterdam is one of the trendsetters in Dutch modern dance, presenting unique<br />
repertoire by artistic director Ed Wubbe, resident guest choreographers Marco Goecke and<br />
Georg Reischl and young, talented dance makers.<br />
Ed Wubbe: ‘You can feel the inspirational chemistry. We all do very different things, but together<br />
we form a solid base on which the company can build. We’ve invested a lot in people over the<br />
last few years and now we’re reaping the benefits. We have found ourselves, everything is coming<br />
together as it should.’<br />
International<br />
Since it was founded in 1945, Scapino has played an important role in the development of<br />
modern dance. Apart from appearances in the Netherlands, the company performs at countless<br />
international festivals and on foreign stages in Europe and countries including Israel, South-<br />
Africa, Indonesia and Brazil. One of the foremost qualities of the present Scapino company is<br />
the much-acclaimed international dancers’ group. The 21 Scapino dancers are praised for their<br />
achievements, technical competency and feisty characters. They originate from all corners of the<br />
world, from England to China and from Australia to Brazil. This year, Scapino will be returning to<br />
America with The Green and De Bruiden/The Brides by Ed Wubbe, and Der Rest ist schweigen/The<br />
Rest is silence and Äffi by Marco Goecke. Performances in New York and Portland (Oregon) have<br />
also been planned.<br />
