Call for audition professional dancers season 23/24

Dutch dance company de Stilte focuses entirely on creating and performing non-verbal dance productions for children. In doing so, the Breda company aims to stimulate children to come up with a story of their own; the boundless story of the imagination. Under the artistic direction of Jack Timmermans, productions are created with academically trained dancers. Thanks to a layered quality, the performances are suitable for young and old.

Besides presenting a range of theatre performances, de Stilte also introduces children to the up-close experience of dance as an art form. We are active in pre-school, primary and secondary education. There we provide custom-made programs: from visiting a theatre show to incidental workshops and continuous learning lines.
