The junior company is an initiative of Emio Greco | Pieter C. Scholten and ICK Dans Amsterdam. ‘Next’ stands for the next generation of dancers. Over the course of a year, selected dancers—each with their own individuality—follow a curriculum aimed at developing their performance skills while focusing on research, development, and gaining work experience in the studio, in site-specific projects, and on stage. Each season, a specific program is put together in which the ICK-Next dancers participate in major performances by directors Emio Greco | Pieter C. Scholten, collaborate in experimental workshops, experience the Double Skin/Double Mind dance method, and take part in education and research activities of the ICK Academy.
