Koresh Dance Company
Overview
Intro
Switzerland Premiere
Modern and jazz danceFounded in 1991, the Koresh Dance Company from Philadelphia is uniquely and surprisingly different in its fusion of elements of modern dance, jazz, but also Israeli folk dance, classical ballet and urban dance forms. It draws its captivating dynamism and explosive energy from the power of two cultures and the combination of cultural elements from the Middle East with Western dance forms. She combines technical brilliance with emotional depth and expressiveness, physical intensity with athletic precision. It owes this fascinating mixture to its founder and artistic director Ronen (Roni) Koresh, who grew up in Israel, was inspired early on by his mother, a folkloric dancer in the Yemeni tradition, and then went to the USA as a young dancer, where he received his training at the renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater School. Like many successful dancers, Roni Koresh switched to choreography in order to incorporate his stage experience and understanding of movement into creative processes. International guest performances, collaborations with renowned choreographers and its own school in Philadelphia have made the company an important driving force in the contemporary dance scene. The guest performance in Visp brings the company to Switzerland for the first time. Here it will showcase its stylistic diversity in a mixed program of contrasting choreographies.
