HÁMOR JÓSZEF
The project based Gangaray Dance Company was founded in 2004 by the Artist Director József Hámor .
The ensemble has won awards for best choreography at many festivals with it's unique form of using the body and it's dimensions. The works are characterized by "rhythmic elegance", "energy bending painting" and "composing dimensions".
These features are the main focus of he company.
The artist director’s choreographies requires high level of technique, dynamic, punctuality and suggestive performing skills.
The unique movement language of the artistic director requires a high technical skill, dynamism, precision, suggestive performance and an outstanding sense of music and rhythm.
In the repertoires József devoted on the precision of different quality in contemporary dance, focusing on the diversity of the body and the relationship between music and space without telling a specific story. This narrative-free form of expression puts the expressive power of the movement at the center, which gives the opportunity to the audience to travel into new worlds.
The mission of the company is to represent its dance centered performances on a world-class basis and also to educate by emphasizing the importance of contemporary dance art.

1. Arterror
The work is about two people's real encounters, merging and tuning. The creator performers, Tímea Maday (Viktor Fülöp scholarship) and József Hámor played and trained a great role in the movement system. This language offers a wide spectrum of hard, tight and breathable qualities. The end result is expressive and sensitive, but determined and articulated communication between the two performers. The duet was made for Jetherfst in Brussels in October 2010.
2. Ocean's Five
Catathy, dense mass, praying… The reality of five men in a world where one can get a deeper insight. Each dancer has a separate 'sheet music', but they all work with the same combination of movements. Their system creates a calculated rhythm and timing, which allows the performers and spectators to find handrails and tuning points at the beginning of the etude. After all five have reached the maximum point of choreography, the image breaks down and the movement, unison, appears. Tread the space, press the floor, pass through invisible spaces that have become chaos. Chaos has a recurring motif and messages from the 'future'. After that, we get insight into the world of an individual who has not yet been able to get rid of his tiredness. We can see the process of transformation. How a man turns himself into a simple form of exhaustion. Parallel to this picture, the other four dancers are pushed back, repeating a gesture down the floor - as if they were just praying - to continue the power of the piece.
“Apart from human nature, there is no other living entity in possession of the command of the feeling of moving the body to sounds. This rocking command is called rhythm, and the command that governs the intertwining of high and deep tones: harmony. And they create dance together. ”(Plato) -
3. Ocean’s Six+1
In the closing session, József Hámor was inspired by the tight and pulsating dynamic music to create the work. The work is experimenting with a team's harmony, harmony, disarmament, explosiveness, the emergence of female and male domination of individual characters, and strong symbolic movements. In addition to contemporary dance, the other linguistic code of the performance draws on the well-known, meaningful, well-elaborated movements of the Eastern martial arts. Even the use of both, which forms a fine, rustic-authentic, yet intense blend with the movement culture of the Hungarian gypsy scooter and Aikido (Japanese martial arts), plays a prominent role in the performance.
