Rotterdam - on Wednesday, April

SchnitzerConcert Hall,downtown.
With its bold repertory and ver­
satile dancers, Scapino has estab­
lished itself as one of the most
creative forces in Dutch dance.
The troupe last appeared in the
United States at New York's Joyce
Theater in 1992 and was hailed by
the New York Times for its “spec­
tacular feats of physical daring."
The company’s riveting perfor­
mances and artistic success arc due
to the inspired leadership of Ed
Wubbe, artistic director of Scapino
since 1992, who has created over 25
works for the company. The 20-
member troupe will make its Port­
land debut with four critically ac­
claimed works hy Wubbe and one
of the freshest voices in European
dance, Marco Goecke, house cho­
reographer of Stuttgart Ballet.
