More than 20 years contemporary dance
Posterino Dance Company is a Contemporary Dance Company, founded in 2002 by Gaetano Posterino in Wiesbaden. He heads the company as Artistic Director and Choreographer. At first he created the initial core of its repertoire with dancers of the Hessian State Ballet. Since then the company presents modern contemporary dance creations and dance theatre pieces on a regular basis.
Since 2015 the company is based in Munich. The goal of the company is to combine Posterino’s choreographic creativity, passion and dedication with the abilities of extraordinary and individual dancers and incorporate their different cultural backgrounds and aesthestic formations resulting in unique dance pieces on stage. We strive to create in a vibrant new choreographic language, one that requires virtuosity in its expression while posing physical challenges to the performers. On this journey, traditional heritage of dance converges with contemporary thoughts, giving rise to a highly unique ensemble.
»My dancers are the motor, they are the real power of my inspiration.«
– Gaetano Posterino
Repertoire
The repertoire of the company contains a variety of Posterino’s pieces in his very own movement vocabulary. It offers an intensive insight into the spectrum of contemporary dance, its forms, perspectives and contents. At current, the company concentrates on a set of eight pieces out of a total portfolio of 28 pieces. Those eight have a personal significance for Gaetano Posterino.
Performance Proposals
We have compiled some performance proposals in our iMAGINE catalogue. It can be found on Issuu, the world’s leading high-quality publishing platform for art and culture.
“With this catalogue I would like to present some of my current works for Posterino Dance Company, which have a personal meaning for me. As individual pieces or excerpts, they can be easily integrated into festivals or galas. They can also be combined to create a complete contemporary dance evening.
My aim is to create pieces in a lively, new choreographic language that requires virtuosity of expression and at the same time presents a physical challenge for the performers. On this journey, the traditional heritage of dance and contemporary ideas come together to create unique choreographies.
I invite you to join me and my company on this journey of contemporary dance, movement, emotion and inspiration.”
