At Helm, we are proud to collaborate with Ceyda Tanc Dance, a contemporary dance company that embodies the spirit of innovation and cultural heritage. Led by British-Turkish choreographer Ceyda Tanc, the company showcases a unique blend of contemporary dance infused with the rich traditions of Turkish folk dance, drawing upon Tanc’s heritage to create groundbreaking performances.
Ceyda Tanc Dance is renowned for its dynamic and cutting-edge choreography, which explores powerful themes of community, ritual, and feminism. Their work emphasizes the strength found in togetherness, with dancers demonstrating hypnotic motion and intricate symmetry. This distinctive approach not only highlights the beauty of movement but also invites audiences to engage with deeper narratives of identity and belonging.
One of the remarkable aspects of Ceyda Tanc Dance is their innovative use of movement vocabulary. By utilizing the virtuoso movements typically performed by male dancers on female bodies, they create striking visual forms that convey both power and sensuality. This reimagining of traditional dance forms challenges gender norms and enriches the conversation around representation in the arts.
At Helm, we believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to foster connection. Collaborating with Ceyda Tanc Dance aligns perfectly with our mission to support artists who challenge conventions and inspire audiences. Their immersive performances blur the lines between dancer and viewer, inviting everyone to experience the rhythm and energy of the dance up close.
Through our partnership with Ceyda Tanc Dance, we aim to create a platform for artistic exploration that resonates with our community. We invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of movement, the richness of cultural heritage, and the strength that comes from unity. Together, let’s embrace the art of dance as a powerful medium for connection and expression.
