"Hofesh Shechter has been described as ‘one of the British dance scene’s hottest properties, the creator of works that are full of raw, visceral energy, set to blasting percussive scores that he composes himself’ (New York Times). He started Hofesh Shechter Company in 2008 alongside Helen Shute and Colette Hansford, and since then has produced works including Uprising/In your rooms, The Art of Not Looking Back, Political Mother and Political Mother Choreographer’s Cut, Survivor, Sun, barbarians, and most recently Grand Finale.
Shechter II is the paid apprentice dancer programme of Hofesh Shechter Company offering 8 dancers (aged 18-25) the opportunity to work with the renowned choreographer, to tour the UK and Europe with a double-bill of his work including a new creation made for the dancers. The world premiere is in Teatro Ariosto (Reggio Emilia, Italy), 17 March 2018."
