NEXT ZONE

NEXT ZONE is a Denmark based company working with OPEN STYLE DANCE.  Choreographer Lene Boel works with dancers from different street dance backgrounds such as popping, locking, electro, break dance, hip hop, and new circus. She creates a distinct choreographic language which is unique for each production and very visceral. The pieces challenge the language of the human body and what it can express through very articulated and highly physical dance. Dealing with contemporary themes interlacing with the past, present, and future the performances communicate to audience of all ages through non-verbal movement, original music, and sustainable atmospheric light. 

TRANSHUMANIST features two dancers balancing between both the artificial and the human, and between machine and human. It explores the upgrading of the human body and mind in extremely articulated body language.

SUPERHUMAN explores the limits for the capacities of the human body in a unique and thought-provoking performance that redefines the human being in new optimised versions. It has already become the everyday to enhance human characteristics artificially and modern science has brought closer the dream of the perfect human being. But what happens to humanity in the future if all humans are optimized with new skills that reaches beyond our current mental and physical capacities?

GREED is a dark, humorous and thought-provoking solo dance performance for audiences of all ages. GREED explores one of humanity’s darkest sides, greed, which is the root of some of the most destructive periods in world history. GREED exhibits this human condition of greed in a new powerfully choreographic language, scenic light and strikingly newly composed industrial music.

The distinctive choreographic language within the performance builds on explorations of mental states, translated into extreme physical movements in a fusion of urban dance, new composed music and atmospheric light.

It speaks both to heart and mind to everyone between the ages of 7 and 97.
