Choreographer Lucinda Childs is the queen of minimal dance. She will be 85 years old in 2025 and Introdans is celebrating this with ICON, a unique programma and heartfelt tribute to the ‘grand old lady’ of American dance.

The audience will experience a (time) journey that starts with Interior Drama (1977), new for the Dutch audience, past the pieces Kilar, Petricor and Concerto that Introdans has danced before, and ends with a world premiere of her latest work Notes of Longing. Childs’ movement idiom is absolutely unique: taking an abstract, almost mathematical approach she uses relatively simple ballet and athletic movements to create amazingly complex masterpieces. The bond between Childs and Introdans can also be called unique, there is no company in the world that dances so much of her work. Introdans has a rich oeuvre of existing and new work by Lucinda Childs. With ICON it underlines this special bond.
