Kassandra Production

Information

Kassandra Production is a danishartistdriven platform for contemporary performing arts in the intersection of dance, theatre, new media and performance art. Kassandra Production was founded in 1998 by choreographer/director, actress and performance artist Annika B. Lewis - who is also the artistic leader. Kassandra Production works national and international - and produces performances, installations, interventions, touring, works with basic research and development, collaboration projects, mediation and gives training and workshops. Kassandra Production's work is characterised by a strong conceptual and visual outcome, mixing the trivial with the philosophical. Kassandra Production creates stories in a skewed way working with multiple fictional layers and the use of multimedia expressions, in a border defying and complex scenic expression. Untraditional and site specific scenic spaces are often explored and performances has been set up in private apartments, caravans, old factories, fairs and the Internet - as well as traditional theatre spaces. Devising and multidisciplinary dialog are part of the work. The work also involves scenic improvisation and real time composition as a part of the creative process as well as a possible scenic expression in itself. Kassandra Production has toured and worked with collaboration projects in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Portugal, Germany, Russia, Latvia, Belgium and United States.
