A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football
Jo Strømgren Kompani
The performance A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football is unparalleled in Norwegian dance. This is the performance that got football fans into contemporary dance, because it presents dance to many people from a new perspective. The expression is dynamic, fresh and immediate, and is very well suited as a first encounter with contemporary dance for children and young people, both girls and boys. The performance A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football deals with football as a phenomenon with its physical routines, violence, madness, aesthetics and humor. It is also a political commentary on the artificial conflict between sport and art, and a kick to the pride and prejudice that surrounds working-class football and upper-class ballet. The performance blurs all boundaries between the two disciplines and highlights their shared entertainment value and diverse physical expression. Members of Jo Strømgren Kompani will be available for an on-stage conversation after the performance if this is of interest to schools. Jo Strømgren Kompani needs feedback from the schools well in advance on whether this is an offer they want. The conversation will last for 20 minutes.
The workshop A Dance Tribute to Football - Inside the show is offered in connection with the performance. This workshop is held by our experienced dancers, and offers an exciting introduction to Jo Strømgren's work, based on various dance sequences from the show. The workshop can be adapted to all levels, and can be offered to both dance students and students without previous dance experience.
