Progressive, Stylish, Contemporary. 35 years.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The press conference of the Central European Dance Theatre (KET), held at the end of September, was opened by Csaba Sz\u00f6gi, the \u201efather\u201d of KET. In September 1988, 35 years ago, he took over the leadership of the N\u00e9psz\u00ednh\u00e1z Dance Ensemble and initiated with the then Artistic Director - Gyula Harangoz\u00f3 Prize winner Istv\u00e1n \u00c9nekes - the name Central Europe Dance Theatre.<\/p>\n

From the very beginning, during the experimental workshop work, they were introduced to a lot of interesting areas, and they started from the idea that folk dance would somehow be directed towards the overall art, or at least towards their own creations. The choice of name was intended to mark a geographical affiliation and thus a role in the region. The basic concept of the KET, which is still part of its image today, was to provide a space and a company for young artists to experiment and to constantly seek out new talent.<\/p>\n

KET's previous artistic directors have been Csaba Horv\u00e1th, J\u00e1nos Feledi and Csaba Sz\u00f6gi, and the company has produced a generation of KET's flagship artists such as \u00c9va Duda, J\u00f3zsef H\u00e1mor, Kriszti\u00e1n Gergye and L\u00e1szl\u00f3 M\u00e1di, who will take over as the company's new artistic director this year.<\/p>\n

L\u00e1szl\u00f3 M\u00e1di<\/a>, She was a student of the Miskolc National Theatre from 1999-2007, then in 2007 she was accepted to the Budapest Contemporary Dance College, from where she was accepted to the MU Terminal Workshop, and in 2009 she joined the KET company. In 2023, he graduated with honours from the Choreography Department of the Hungarian Dance Academy, where he was head of the Choreography Department under the guidance of Kossuth Prize-winning artist Yvette Bozsik.<\/p>\n

She began her work as a creator and choreographer in 2010, collaborating with the other dancers of the company to create Io Sono<\/em> In 2013, he made his first solo performance in the KET's Phases programme From a tree<\/em> entitled. In 14 years, he has been involved in the premiere of more than 50 performances. With the company, he has written 5 independent choreographies, 4 co-creative performances and 3 creative works outside the company. As a composer and music editor, he has composed music for many of KET's productions, as well as composing for 8 outside companies. The company's current repertoire currently includes 4 performances. As a teacher, he has been an active master of the company's workshops since 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to continue to work with a focus on inclusion, transmission, research and experimentation. We are putting more and more focus and energy into the next generations. We want not only to show, but also to give. We don't just offer a lecture, but a dictionary, an interpretation and an initiation. And in this, I think we are leading the way. With our educational dance theatre performances, with the initiation programmes that go with our performances, with the Forum of Young Choreographers (IKF)<\/em> and IKF+<\/em> our talent management programmes, our international Summer Intensive Dance Course<\/em>unkkal (NYIT)<\/em> and for dance artists Open Class<\/em> workshops are all opportunities to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

L\u00e1szl\u00f3 M\u00e1di, who would like to put even more emphasis on attracting young viewers and expanding contacts in the Central European region, said.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9ka Gerlits, the organisation's generating manager, has joined KET to help the company with its organisational operations.<\/p>\n
