ɅVɅ DANCE COMPANY is an independent dance company created in 2008 as a dance laboratory to fulfil the artistic vision of choreographer Avatâra Ayuso. The company creates high-quality contemporary dance works, with a cast of female dancers and collaborators from a range of cultures and artistic disciplines, mainly; architecture, poetry, lighting design, music and costume. Our priority is to create the context for a culturally diverse team of artists and organisations to interact with Avatâra in any given project, using dance as the connecting discipline, in this sense, we are a non geographically committed structure, working in partnership and getting funds internationally. We believe in dance-making as a never-ending creative process of movement investigation, expressing ideas through a visceral physicality of the body, opening its full range of emotional possibilities.
