Known as one of the Netherlands’s most prestigious and celebrated neo-classical dance companies, Introdans also runs one of Europe’s most inventive integrated dance programmes led by Adriaan Luteijn. JOMBA! is delighted to be hosting this work where Introdans celebrates the power of human uniqueness with a special programme called HubClub Special. Especially for the 25th anniversary of the JOMBA! festival, the Netherlands based dance company is presenting a fully inclusive dance programme with several successful pieces from the HubClub performance which premiered recently in the Netherlands. It will be a vibrant dance party for young and old. In HubClub Special you will see work by six choreographers from the Netherlands and abroad who collaborated with the classically modern trained Introdancers and a colourful group of guest dancers from different worlds. The artists of the HubClub Special are irresistible, in spectacular costumes and with styling by artist Bas Kosters. Introdans sees itself as a hub for inclusive dance art which is part of our mission, and we are proud that with funding from the Royal Netherlands Embassy, we can present a few of our stars at the 25th JOMBA! festival.
Adriaan Luteijn is the creator of HubClub Special. He definitely isn’t a standard choreographer. In 1998 he ended his career as a dancer at Introdans, and from this time on he began to develop his choreographic activities for a range of dancers and institutions in the Netherlands and abroad. He doesn’t really regard himself as a major innovator of dance language, but more as someone who creates innovative theatre with dancers. He flourishes with the friction and collision happening in his working processes with dancers from usually separated worlds; one of them always a skilled professional. That friction is what delivers the energy. He works with people that come from a wide variety of physical, social, cultural and intellectual worlds. For instance, the Dutch Olympic Volleyball team, hip hop-waacking and vogueing dancers, older people, dancers with different physical and/or intellectual abilities, or even whole families, all of whom he places alongside professional dancers (Introdancers), and always with remarkable results.
Introdans thanks the Royal Netherlands Embassy (South Africa) for supporting their trip to JOMBA!
