Dance in Art (DiA) is a private center for dance, art education and performance training. Focussing on the creation of dance films and dance performances to explore the problems and issues facing society today.

Working together with filmmaker Sophie Koster and producing films with our platform The Short Dance Collective, gives us the opportunity to use the power of movement and cinematography to bring to life the struggles of individuals and communities, shedding light on important social and mental health issues.

Our goal is to create films and performances that are not just seen, but deeply felt. We achieve this immersive quality through cinematography and sound design. We tell stories that are written, spoken and inspired by real people. It’s a powerful collaboration and personal experience.

During a full evening program by The Short Dance Collective, we make social themes insightful and open for discussion. We do this through a dance film, a dance performance, and (if possible) a post-show talk with a professional who speaks about a particular topic.

With a unique mix of film, dance, and theatre our performances immerse the audience in a theme, giving them a new lens through which to view the world and sparking conversations that continue after they leave.

Our performances are suitable for schools, theaters, cinemas, festivals, museums and cultural centers that want to surprise their audience with innovative, physical, and visually strong films and dance.
