| Van Huynh Company is a UK based dance company and was founded in 2008 by Dam Van Huynh to further the exploration of the human body and its relationship through time and space.
Inspired by everyday life and people, Dam’s choreographies are grounded in reality and dig further to access a deeper layer of conscience. The Company selects movements and attitudes to process this information by expanding and exaggerating the observed gestures. The result is a physical dance creating a sense of surrealism, where the capacities of the human body are explored to its extremes and infinite details become prominent.
The Company brings emphasis to the torso as one of the main key elements of exploration. Using its own system of torso division, the Company creates a unique movement vocabulary.
The productions are a breath of energy combining a strong sense of visual imagery and rhythm, technicality and sensuality.
Van Huynh Company's international tours include the UK, Mexico, Sweden, Spain, Hong Kong and Korea. The Company's main productions are [Black Square], Unexpectedly Here, Mural Studies, Sudden Change of Event and Collision.
Van Huynh Company also received commissions by institutions and organisations such as Laban Theatre, the British Museum, Dance United and The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Dam Van Huynh was appointed Artist-in-Residence at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts – HKAPA in 2010. Recently, Dam’s residency was extended, allowing him to further develop the research undertaken with his company in the last few years.
