HÁMOR JÓSZEF
A Gangaray Dance Company 2004-ben alakult Hámor József koreográfus művészeti vezetésével. A táncközpontúságra fókuszált projekt szinten működő együttes számos fesztiválon a legjobb koreográfia díját nyerte el.
A társulat munkáira a „ritmizált elegancia”, „az energia hajlítás festészete” a „dimenziók komponálása”a legkíválóbb jelzők.
A Társulatot vezető koreográfus egyedi mozgásnyelve magas technikai képzettséget, dinamizmust, precizitást, szuggesztív előadás módot és kiemelkedő zenei-ritmus érzéket követel.
Darabjaiban a minőségi kortárs táncot állítja főszerepbe, konkrét történet mesélés nélkül a test sokszínűségére, a zene és tér kapcsolatára fókuszál. Ez a narratíváktól mentes kifejezésforma a mozdulat kifejező erejét hivatott központba állítani, mely képes új világokba repíteni a nézőt.
A Társulat küldetése, hogy világszínvonalon képviselje táncközpontú előadásait, nyomatékosítva ezzel a kortárs táncművészet létjogosúltságát.
