About Us :
Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre is a dynamic, innovative contemporary dance company based in Brooklyn, NY and was recently named one of the Top 5 NYC Dance Performances of the Year by the New York Times. Since its inception in 2003, the company has held NYC performance seasons at Dance Theater Workshop, The Kitchen, Ailey Theater, Brooklyn Lyceum, Joyce SoHo and Tribeca PAC, and has toured and taught classes and workshops throughout the U.S., Europe and Russia.
In 2012-13, Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre was one of six dance companies chosen to be part of the inaugural year of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Professional Development Program (BAM PDP) in partnership with the Kennedy Center’s DeVos Institute for Arts Management. The company’s administrative and organizational capacity, as well as its Board of Directors, grew substantially due to this program, which culminated in a sold-out, critically-acclaimed performance season at the BAM Fisher. The company’s tenth anniversary year in 2013 included: the world premiere tour of TRILOGY in Serbia - a four-year collaboration with composer Aleksandra Vrebalov and the string quartet ETHEL; co-founding the MUSA! Festival of Dance with Music at the Baruch Performing Arts Center; a site-specific dance inspired by the quarries of Cape Ann, MA; and its season at the BAM Fisher, featuring two world premieres that provocatively explored the confluence of science and mythology.
Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre has a diverse and extensive offering of repertory suitable for many different stages and audiences.
The company has a commitment to working with live music where possible and to partnering with presenters for innovative community exchange.
