ICK Dans Amsterdam, the contemporary dance company of Amsterdam, is based in Space for Dance Art. In SfDA, ICK creates performances and rehearses its extensive repertoire.

In 2009, Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten combined their artistic, production and research activities in ICK Dans Amsterdam, the International Choreographic Arts Centre Amsterdam, a platform for contemporary dance. Under their vision, we create international productions, support young makers and to realize education and research in dance.

Since 2021, ICK has been located in Space for Dance Art, a place where performances, research, education, debates, workshops and symposia come together. Space for Dance Art functions as a dynamic centre where dance engages in dialogue with other disciplines, technology and social issues. ICK develops projects in collaboration with partners at home and abroad, most recently with the Philharmonie de Paris and the Opera de Tunis.

ICK is internationally renowned for its innovative approach to dance, which recognises the body as a carrier of stories, meanings and physical intelligence. The company is constantly searching for new forms of physical presence and audience engagement, as well as ways to integrate technology into choreography. As well as creating and presenting performances, ICK focuses on talent development, participation projects and knowledge sharing, with the aim of reaching a broad and diverse audience.
