Dance Theatre Zick was created in the fall of 2005 when Anu Ruusmaa’s dance performance “Solitude – It Does Not Matter at All” was brought on stage in NO99 big auditorium. From then on Zick has staged several theatrical and movement based contemporary dance performances and become a persistently active dance theatre with a stable core group. Dmitri Harchenko was the theatre’s house choreographer from 2006 to 2008 and five performances were staged under his direction, most known of which are “Piaf” and “Undine”. Raido Bergstein and Stella Suitso have been involved in the theatre’s activities as key figures from the very beginning. The aim of Dance Theatre Zick is to concentrate dance artists who think alike and as a result of that cooperation create full-length dance performances that fill the evening.
Performances from two young choreographers from the opposite sides of the Gulf of Finland are premiered in season 2009/2010. Jaan Ulst has completed dance studies in Holland and Tallinn University, nowadays he associates his activities with both countries. As a young and energetic dance artist he takes Zick away from the stage limits and into old factory buildings while he himself also steps up on the stage with Kaja Lindal and Raido Bergstein in the performance “Forgotten Poetry”. Jenni Kivelä is one of the most well known choreographers of the younger generation in Finland and her performances are best characterised with keywords such as audience friendliness, humanity, text, joy of recognition and warm humour. The new performance from Ulst is premiered in Culture Factory Polymer in the beginning of season 2009/2010 and Kivelä’s work in Kumu auditorium in the second half of the season. As customary, Zick brings both performances to Tallinn’s as well as Tartu’s audiences.
