JEFTA VAN DINTHER Jefta van Dinther (NL/SE) is a
choreographer and dancer working between Stockholm and Berlin. His work is characterized by a rigorous physical approach and always implies a staged research of movement itself. The moving body is centerfold in his work but belongs to and interacts with a body of light, sound and materials that constitute an environment of perception and sensation. The dancers work and dance their way through various environments: their processes exhibited live on stage become performances. Currently on tour are the performances As It Empties Out (2014), Plateau Effect (2013 – a commission for Cullberg Ballet), THIS IS CONCRETE (2012) and GRIND (2011). His other works include The Blanket Dance (2011), Kneeding (2010), The Way Things Go (2009) and IT’S IN THE AIR (2008). He is currently preparing for a new collaboration with Cullberg Ballet entitled Protagonist, premiering in June 2016.
