the guts company Dresden In 2013 Johanna Roggan and Josefine Wosahlo founded the guts company. The company´s artistic goal is to create contemporary dance productions which touch the audience on a “gut level”. Besides that it is aiming to contribute to the art and dance scene in Dresden, to strengthen the region´s structure. With Johanna Roggan as artistic director the company was managed by Josefine Wosahlo and since August 2015 by Dana Bondartschuk as well as Johanna Roggan herself. They are highly engaged in the local dance scene and their developments over the past years. Thus the connection to the city is very strong and the decision to work in a place which has low freelancing structure is consciously chosen. Bringing Dresden based artists from various fields together with those from other cities and countries therefore is the intention and request. The strengthening of such connections has effects on two directions: It brings Dresden and Dresden artist with their works out into the world, at the same time it invigorates Dresden´s scene by integrating different influences and in best case can be and become a centre of attraction for artists. Out of all that the company is based in Dresden. the guts company works like an open network and is constantly looking for project-matching dancers, musicians, visual artists, stage designers and so on. The establishment of different contexts is a main aspect of the work which is headed to stimulate exchange and fluent inspiration through the collaborating artists themselves as well as the chosen subjects. Cross genres contemporary dance pieces, video dance works, site-specific productions, interactive productions and performative installations arise from these contexts. The works are dealing with a highly physical atmosphere, not only reduced on technical skills but rather using a certain quality that literally moves the performers - and in consequence the watching audience. the guts company’s tracks Am Königsweg nach Elfriede Jelinek | MACHT#1 by the guts company published on 2019-12-07T21:10:50Z variations on_Mary by the guts company published on 2018-10-17T19:45:52Z MDR the guts company interview by the guts company published on 2016-11-25T10:21:21Z Das Fremde/ ALIENIdentität_Teaser 1 by the guts company published on 2016-09-10T16:00:49Z Mutter Heimat by the guts company published on 2016-07-11T07:07:32Z ortsflüchtig_session 10.09.15 by the guts company published on 2015-10-01T13:40:00Z Carbon_sounds.WAV by the guts company published on 2015-09-04T10:53:36Z ortsflüchtig_day 5 by the guts company published on 2015-08-17T12:34:00Z ortsflüchtig_third day rehearsal by the guts company published on 2015-08-15T13:50:38Z
