The very first season is over


The very first season of 420people has been successfully „closed“ by the two performances in Archa Theater in Prague at the end of January 2008. The reactions of our audience, energy of the dancers that passed trough our workshops, support of professionals from our field, other offers for coproductions . . . and nevertheless satisfying feeling after good work, is insuring our will and we’re continuing to walk the path we took.
During such an intensiv process as is creating of our „production unit“ 420people and working with personalityes, constantly „rotating around the globe“, we were prepared and expected to have to be flexible and ready for surprises. Our first seasson was full of them!
We are glad to gain new experiences again and we shall use those …!!! preparations for our up-coming producions.

We would like to say our thanks to those who are supporting us on our way, who offered us an „helpful hand“ and important feed-back; nevetheless to those whom identify with our ideas, mainly to present dance aslo on Czech stages in it’s best possible qualityes. . . this way we would like to bring dance as an art form into subconsiousnes of an wider audience.

To be expected:

New creation On an Even Keel / V.Kuneš
