About the author

Lenka Vagnerová works as an independent choreographer, dancer and dance teacher in the contemporary Czech and international dance scene. In 2012 she established in Prague dance theatre Lenka Vagnerová & Company. Existential questions, urgency of topics of man’s relationship to animals and the environment, play with reality and fantasy are characteristic for the creations of LV&C. Lenka puts emphasis on the qualities and details of the precision of movement; she uses the power of group dynamics; she is looking for physical capabilities and physical boundaries of man’s own body. The company regularly collaborates with dancers, actors and musicians.

About the LV&C, Nina Vangeli, Dance Zone 2015:
„An intriguing type of physical theatre is pursued in the Czech Republic by Lenka Vagnerová, a fabulous dancer and a great choreographic talent. A graduate of dance schools, she has attained a refined physical expression owing to her bold sense of theatre and urge to voice her opinion of substantial issues – the question of power, the question of the co-existence between humans and other natural beings. She excels in finding subjects and creating sceneries, as well as coming up with original movement variations, and, what is more, she possesses a great sense of dynamics and humor.”
