Mission statement
• Straight to your heart
Jeugddanstheater Plankenkoorts brings funny, spectacular and poetic dance performances, that make you want
to jump up and join in. Leaving plenty of space for your own imagination
the images will touch you straight in your heart.
• Acrobatic by nature
Plankenkoorts dancers by nature like to climb, fly, jump, and fall. Acrobatic elements
are thus always naturally incorporated in the performances. More then spectacular tricks
they are part of the Plankenkoorts dance vocabulary and convey meaning as well
as beauty and awe.
• Abstract dance with narrative power
Our challenge lies in the making of abstract dance with narrative power. Abstract dance leaves our young
audience plenty of space to fill with their own unique fantasy.
The narrative power prickles the audience on an emotional and even philosophical level. This makes our
performances highly appreciated by both adults and children!
• Age 4 and older
Performances of Plankenkoorts are always for children age 4 and older.
This makes Plankenkoorts unique in The Netherlands.
• Education
All Plankenkoorts performances are suitable for playing in schools as well as theatres.
Educational material is available for each performance.
