Frantics Dance Company

LAST

Tanztage Berlin 2017 | Sophiensæle

Production Details / Press Releases

The urban dance collective Frantics Dance Company investigates the different perceptions of time. Jumping through space, time will collapse and freeze, lengthen and accelerate. Like a blurred movie, they will watch their memories and adjust to real events. Finally, through an energetic explosion they will break out of the monotony of repetition!

The word Frantics is inspired by the spanish word Frenesí, which means “a violent exaltation of a feeling or a passion.” Since 2013, Frantics Dance Company combines Bboying, Acrobatics, Experimental Hip Hop and Martial Arts with Contemporary Dance.

CARLOS ALLER, born in Spain, had his first contact with the world of dance in 2005 when he started to participate in bboying competitions. He moved to Berlin to explore different kinds of dances and develop his skills as a dancer.

JUAN TIRADO started to dance bboying in 2004. He left home early to explore the movement of great dancers around the world. In 2013, he arrived in Berlin where he co-founded Frantics, seeking new concepts inspired by the local dance scene.

MARCO DI NARDO started bboying in Naples in 2004. He is part of DBR Crew, a legendary Italian Breakdance crew. He has won prizes in competitions all over Europe. In Berlin he took the opportunity to evolve from bboying to experimental dance.

DIEGO DE LA ROSA His first contact with dance was in the streets of Valladolid in 2005. During his first years of dance, Diego travelled around Spain and Europe, attending numerous events and championships of Urban Dance. In 2012, he moved to Berlin where he co-founded the company Frantics.

YOUNG-WON SONG started her dance education at Chungnam Art Highschool in South Korea (2009-2011) and continued her education at SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance) in Austria (2011-2015). After her graduation, she became a member of Bodhi Project which she toured internationally with. In October 2016 she joined the Frantics Dance Company.
