Min Kim wins in the XL Production Award 2024. The South Korean choreographer will receive the world's largest dance prize, awarded by RIDCC and produced by Scapino.

Scapino Ballet Rotterdam is gearing up for an exciting new season led by new artistic director Nanine Linning.

Between 1999 and 2018, Scapino presented 18 editions of TWOOLS, the programme in which young choreographic talents are given the opportunity to create work for the main stage.

In its first season in the new millennium, Scapino presents a new concept; TWOOLS. No theme, no story, but a blistering 75-minute non-stop dance collage.

The second TWOOLS follows shortly after the first, with space on the main stage for five individual dance makers, a choreographer duo and a hip-hop crew.

TWOOLS 3 is the second edition of TWOOLS in the calendar year 2000 and the third in a year's time. The audience is introduced to first choreographies by Ruby Edelman and Georg Reischl.

For TWOOLS 4, Ed Wubbe has invited a mix of brand new and more established dance makers. By interweaving their work, a unique, festival-like evening in the theatre is created.

"A pleasant fever reigns in our studios when, in just a few weeks, the annual edition of TWOOLS is made with all thirty dancers," Ed Wubbe recalls.

The eleven very different dance pieces collected in one programme for TWOOLS 6 reflect the desire to give space to risk and to the full breadth of the dance field.

Anything is possible in TWOOLS. And the choreographers invited by Ed Wubbe, ranging from up-and-coming talent from the Scapino ranks to more established international choreographers, take this to heart.

The 8th edition of TWOOLS does without the series of short, connecting group pieces that artistic director Ed Wubbe usually creates for Scapino's season finale.

A record number of choreographers are working on TWOOLS 9. Creators who in previous years have helped to determine the face of Dutch dance. Among them three duos. And no fewer than four women.

It is a celebration because TWOOLS is turning ten. So far, the format has offered a stage to nearly forty choreographers, many of them young, most of them working freelance in the Netherlands.

Seven choreographers are taking part in the 11th edition of TWOOLS: Marina Mascarell Martinez, Jérôme Delbey, Thom Stuart, Lucas Jervies, Loïc Perela, Georg Reischl and Ed Wubbe.
