At Kaaos Company, we redefine dance by celebrating the unique qualities of every body, moving beyond the limits of traditional dance aesthetics and conventional beauty standards. We view the diversity of physicality and ability among our dancers not just as a feature, but as our greatest strength—one that fuels innovative movement expressions and groundbreaking creative outcomes.
Kaaos Company develops movement language and practice methods that give space to each body’s uniqueness. The movement doesn’t seek the traditional aesthetic of dance or the conventional idea of beauty. The dancers’ different physical properties and abilities are a resource, and a foundation to a new kind of movement language and creativity.
What we do at Kaaos Company
Over the years the scope of our activity has expanded. Nowadays the activity of Kaaos is divided into two sections:
Artistic activity
Kaaos Company produces professional inclusive dance performances, the goal of which is to dissolve the differences between disabled and non-disabled people, and to break stereotypical ideas regarding these topics. Diversity enriches the artistic work of Kaaos Company.
Pedagogical activity
Kaaos Company offers weekly movement improvisation classes to both children and adults. We also do visits to schools and various communities, for example. We also offer tailored dance workshops.
Kaaos Company (KC) was founded in 2010 under DanceAbility Finland to perform works by different artists, performers and choreographers. Kaaos Company’s KATRAS-group performs small site-specific performances in various environments.
From 2024 onwards, the former DanceAbility Finland is named Inklusiivisen tanssin tuki ry. The primary goal of the association is to direct the activity under Kaaos Company. That is why in colloquial speech we call ourselves Kaaos Company.
