The Iceland Dance Company is Iceland's only state-run dance company, based at the Reykjavík City Theatre. Since 2015, the company enjoys the artistic direction and leader­ship of visionary choreo­grapher Erna Ómarsdóttir who has trans­formed the IDC into a hot­bed of con­temporary choreo­graphy. Her specific interest in and focus on inter­disciplinary working methods, an over­all cross-pollination of the art-forms – including collaborations with com­posers of new music (e.g. SigurRós, Ben Frost, Anna Þorvalds­dóttir) and visual artists such as Matthew Barney, Gabriela Friðriks­dóttir and Ragnar Kjartans­son– have secured the IDC a place among of Europe‘s most cutting edge dance companies. This strong reputation is also a direct result of the company members‘ commit­ment. It is the diverse and versatile en­semble of ex­cellent dancers and per­formers, who all play an active part in the creation of new work, that helps cement IDC‘s position, bringing the company to venues around the world, such as the South­bank Centre in London, the Onassis Centre in Athens or the Civic Centre Theatre in Hong Kong.
