PROJECT X is the result of a massive interest in Mute Comp. Physical Theatre´s performances, movements and physical expression.
Almost daily the company receives requests from professional dancers and dancers in education from all over Europe who would like to work with the company.
PROJECT X is based on collaboration and internship agreements with a number of European, mostly Scandinavian, dance institutions such as Dance och Circushögskolan in Stockholm, The Iceland Academy Of the Arts (Contemporary Dance Programme Iceland), The Theatre Academy of Finland, Amsterdam Academy of the Arts, Laban Conservatoire of Contemporary Dance in London, Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance, Munich, Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School and Statens Scenekunstskole.
From the above institutions choreographer Kasper Ravnhøj invites 15-20 dancers to work with him for 2 – 3 weeks. In this period of time a small dance piece is created lasting around 15 minutes.
