EMBLA dans & teater is a dance company that was formed in Gothenburg in 1989. They create and perform dance performances for both children and adults. Embla has been touring both Sweden as well as internationally and have previously visited the Nordic countries, the Baltic States and Italy.

The most significant characteristics regarding Embla’s work for children is the direct approach towards the audiences, utilizing humor and an overall playful attitude. The shows often act as an entry point towards a greater understanding and appreciation of modern dance. All of the performances also come with a dance workshop for and with the children.

Embla has also created atmospheric and suggestive performances for adults, using both site-specific performance spaces as well as regular venues. Over the last couple of years they have done somewhere around 150-170 shows each year.

Embla is one of the initiators behind Satellit – a new
Nordic dance festival for young audiences.
