Breakfast with Bournonville

Description

Kompagni B has done it again! The theatre’s young dancers have created their own production full of energy and creativity. Kompagni B consists of pupils in the 8th and 9th grades from Det Kongelige Teaters Balletskole and is the world’s first professional ballet company for, with and by children The young dancers have created this year’s Breakfast with Bournonville, in which they tackle themes that matter to them and their peers. In the production the young dancers blend their classical ballet technique with budding choreographic creativity. Together with the theatre’s lighting, sound, video and costume departments, Kompagni B has once again created a sensuous, energetic production. Breakfast with Bournonville opens the theatre up to a new generation of audience, and is created especially for Kompagni B’s peers in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. Please note that tickets for this performance are free, but can only be booked by schools and educational institutions. The purpose of Kompagni B’s work is to open up the classical art form and offer space for reflection and sensory experience, at eye level with their peer audience. During the creative process the young dancers have been challenged to investigate and expand their abilities in production dramaturgy, choreographic composition and movement expression, so that they can convey to the audience what is on their minds. We hope that an encounter with Kompagni B will give the pupils in the audience a sense of ballet as a living art form and style. Kompagni B looks forward to taking over Gamle Scene and seeing all their peers in the auditorium for a production full of dance, video and music.
