 photo: Nicolas Le Riche Nicolas Le Riche, currently the director of LAAC (L’Atelier de L’Art Chorégraphique) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris will be the new director of MADE IN the web member The Royal Swedish Ballet beginning autumn 2017. Le Riche has worked for the Paris Opera as a etoile (star dancer) for a great deal of his career, the highest honors a French dancer can get. He has had leading roles in classical ballet, neoclassical style and modern dance. World-renowned choreographers such as Mats Ek, Jiri Kylian, William Forsythe and John Neumeier, to name a few, have created works especially for Le Riche. He has also danced on the world’s most prestigious stages. Like his predecessor Johannes Öhman, Le Riche sees no difference between classical ballet and contemporary dance: “both are facets of the same Art”. - We will work on classical pieces as well as with choreographic innovators in equal measure and design a creative, diverse program for all audiences, both national and international, Le Riche states in a press release from the Royal Swedish Ballet.

photo: Alexander Kenney The MADE IN the web members K&C Kekäläinen & Company (FI) and the company ccap (SE) are performing at Tanz im August-festival in Berlin 8 Aug-2 Sep 2017. A LINE_UP by ccap (SE) is shown 25-26 Aug 2017 at Radialsystem V. With the possibility to meet the artist Cristina Caprioli after the show on 25 Aug 2017. A LINE_UP departs from the Broadway musical A Chorus Line only to turn it into something else, and whilst the original leaves the theatre, a multitude of choreographies swag onto the floor and speak their mind. This lineup is a dissonant choir, made and undone by a craving for disorder. A LINE_UP is a co-production between ccap, NorrlandsOperan, Regionteatern Blekinge Kronoberg, Riksteatern and Tanz im August/HAU Hebbel am Ufer. Read more here. Sanna Kekäläinen's work HAFED COLLAGE OF DIFFERENCES AND FRAGILITY is performed three times at Sophiensaele Festsaal, 31 Aug and 1-2 Sep 2017. Sanna Kekäläinen is known for her vast body of work, that has brought on stage a stubborn, independent, innocent in her nakedness, detached from the normative gender, loud, quirky and peculiar female character. Meet the artist Sanna Kekäläinen after the performance on 31 Aug 2017! Read more here. Find out more about the companies at madeintheweb | |

 Gunilla Heilborn’s new piece THE WONDERFUL AND THE ORDINARY is under production and will premiere at the Steirischer Herbst Festival, Graz, Austria, 29 Sep 2017. Watch a trailer here. The piece is a coproduction with Theater im Bahnhof from Graz, and the Gunilla Heilborn Company. Three members from TIB, Monika Klengel, Pia Hierzegger, Lorenz Kabas and two performers from Sweden, Kristiina Viiala and Kenneth Bruun Carlsson dive into the complexity of remembering and forgetting. Our memory is the strangest thing; completely unreliable, constantly making up new stories. Yet it is still what defines us. Music composition, video and set is created by Kim Hiorthøy, Mårten Nilsson and Katarina Wiklund. Light design by Minna Tiikkainen. The team will be in residence at Dansens hus, Stockholm (SE). At the end of the artistic process the whole team gathers in Graz in September. If you would like to attend any of the showings in Graz, or would like the full gig list, be sure to send a note to the company. Read more about Gunilla Heilborn at madeintheweb | |
