UP&UP
 UP&UP is about the joint journey of six female dancers, about a state of heightened emotions, about the thrill and rapture of being in a collective. In joint rituals they discover the responsibility of the individual to the community and vice versa. This dynamic performance shows the life correlation between the six women, the journey they take together and the stations they pass through in their dance careers. The Amazon-like freestyle movements describe solidarity, courage, disagreement, unity and individual and group responsibility.
„The unbroken rhythm influences the audience to such an extent that at moments one wishes to dance together with the performers; it is an excellent reflection of the tempo of life and demands on a modern woman, whose roles and tasks often overlap and require a superhuman effort in dealing with life challenges (…) The fifty-minute-long performance of Up&Up is the first dance performance I have seen acknowledged by standing ovations and the cheers of genuine joy from both the performers and the audience. It is this mutual, unbridled passion, the passion stirred by the fireworks of movements, that would be my first recommendation, if I had to describe all the beauty of the contemporary dance expression to someone who has never seen a contemporary dance performance.“
