So You Think You Know Dance

So you thought you knew what dance was? Brace yourself for a delightfully disruptive evening where you’ll discover just how much more dance can be. Step into the theatre with an open mind and wander with the dance makers through the far corners of dance, performance, film and installation. From a dance on a 2×2-metre floor to surreal encounters and pop-up performances in the corridors, on the stairs and at the bar.

Following the successful event in Den Bosch, So You Think You Know Dance is back, as part of Tilburg Dance Days.

So You Think You Know Dance is an ongoing dance programme. Spread across the halls and other special places in the theatre, you will see performances by all kinds of different makers. Work by more well-known makers stands side by side with young work.

Discover, taste and feel what dance anno nowadays has in store for you. And if you have any questions, our dance consultants are ready for a good chat!
