São Paulo Dance Company
Artistic direction: Inês Bogéa
Creation: 2008
Created in January 2008 by the Government of the State of Sao Paulo, The São Paulo Dance Company (SPDC) is directed by Inês Bogéa, doctor of arts, ballet-dancer, documentary maker and writer.
Throughout this period, the Company has been seen by an audience of more than 1.000,000 people in different countries (Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Holland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Paraguay, Switzerland, the United States of America, Uruguay, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates), experiencing approximately 150 cities, totaling more than 1,100 performances. The Company has a varied repertoire, ranging from classical to contemporary. Recognized by specialized critics as one of the main dance companies of Latin America, since its creation, the Company has produced more than 80 choreographies, including commissioned new works of important names of international dance like Edouard Lock, Richard Siegal and Marco Goecke, and Brazilian choreographers, as Rodrigo Pederneiras, Henrique Rodovalho e Jomar Mesquita; and restages of works from Jirí Kylián, William Forsythe, George Balanchine, Nijinska, Nacho Duato among others.
SPDC searches for a connection with the audience by curiosity and perception of the dance world in motion. The programs show the variety of the repertoire of SPDC and the dynamics of Brazilian dancers. The dancers are versatile and able to move from classical to contemporary dance with a particular accent. The Company is a meeting place of distinct artists – such as choreographers, light designers, photographers, guest lecturers, restagers, writers, artists, cartoonists, musicians, costume designers and others.
The Educational and Audience Awareness Programs, another strand of action of SPDC, are divided into: Lecture For Educators, in which we have the opportunity to dialogue about the backstage of this art; Dance Workshops, a meeting to experience the daily life of the dancers; Open Performances for Students and Senior Citizens, in which the proposal is to see, hear and perceive the dance world; Programs focus on social institutions and organizations aimed to take the dance culture to different audiences and spaces; Dança em Rede (Dance Network), an online dance encyclopedia on the Company’s website and a series of 39 documentaries about the History of Dance in Brazil.
