TWOOLS Archive
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.
More than sixty choreographers have created work for TWOOLS. For many choreographers their debut in TWOOLS was also their first introduction to the Dutch dance world. Choreographers such as Marco Goecke, Nanine Linning, Annabel Lopez Ochoa, Guy & Roni, Felix Landerer and Marcos Morau made their debuts in TWOOLS.
