Body of Work 2026 — Re:pertoire
How is dance repertoire transmitted, reworked, and questioned?
Body of Work is STUK's new annual festival celebrating living dance heritage. The first edition took place last year. Entitled Unfolding Fase, it examined Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's legendary performance Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich from various angles.
The second edition of Body of Work will take place from 25 April to 13 May 2026 under the title Re:pertoire. How do you keep dance heritage alive? By dancing! Dance repertoire stays alive by working with it today. By restaging dance performances, reworking them and looking at the past with a contemporary eye. Expect iconic performances, impressive new work, amateur dancers diving into their favourite repertoire, an exhibition of audience memories, a podcast and creators opening their studios wide to the public.
The full programme will be announced in the spring, but you can already discover the first performances now.
