Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten have worked together in their joint search for new dance forms since 1995. Their Dance company Emio Greco | PC has developed organically into the International Choreographic Arts Centre Amsterdam (ICKamsterdam), a platform for contemporary dance where national and international choreographers and artists are invited to collaborate. The aim is to inspire, to shape and to renew one another. With its spearheads of creation and conservation; talent development and knowledge transfer; reflection and research, innovation and alliance, ICKamsterdam pursues the continuous development and enrichment of dance.
