ABOUT 420 PEOPLE
420PEOPLE are Nataša Novotná, Václav Kuneš and Ondřej Kotrč.
The first two are linked together by one of the most prestigious dance companies in the world - Netherlands Dans Theatre; the intensive collaboration with world leading choreographers and artist; the third one is adding a bit of his experiences from the "back stage".
All of them, aside of their nationality, would like to share their experiences also with the Czech spectator. "Use" the years on the top of the dance world and try to present as much of this top, together with Czech dancers, at home in Czech Republic.
Our goal is to be creative in a place that, as we believe, has on its own already great deal of inspiration to offer, very rich history and promising future – Czech republic.
The main cause of our long-term project is at first the intensive collaboration with compelling foreign artist from fields such as choreography, music, design ... with the Czech interprets and vice versa.
With regards to our extensive international network of artists from many different disciplines, we would like to present and introduce to the Czech viewer contemporary dance as we know it and as we believe in it. Use the unique position of our capital city Prague in the heart of Europe, to help to establish a crossroads of artists, focusing at first on dancers, choreographers and teachers. In all of our efforts the highest on the list is the idea of incorporating Czech dancers into each and every program and project. And, on the contrary, allowing talented Czech choreographers to be able to create their new works with highly professional dancers from abroad.
420people would like to disclose the word 'contemporary dance' to the Czech audience; show its layering, tones and wider view in its highest possible quality.
We would like to yearly present at least one new full evening dance production. The world premiere will always take its place in Czech Republic followed by tour-series of performances, representing our work abroad.
The long term focus is to establish a permanent group of dancers based in Prague and twice a year present a new program in an collaboration with international guests.
Each 420people project will be accompanied by workshops lead by our foreign guests or by the main protagonist - Natasa Novotna and Vaclav Kunes. Allowing like this the sneak preview of each and every artist’s style of working, their way of moving. Our wish is to set in motion an arrangement between different conservatoires within the Czech Republic and their Dance Departments, making it possible for students not only from Prague to experience these workshop. As we believe that and fresh/new input next to a strong and developed training is absolutely essential for every dancer nowadays.
