Founded in 2012, Low Air is Lithuania’s first Urban Dance Theater. It is known for introducing new dance syntheses and forms to the Lithuanian contemporary dance scene and seeks to reveal the artistic potential of urban dance.
<…> It is commendable that these street dancers, whom we can also call creators, dared and still dare to adapt street dance to the professional dance theater stage. At present, it is the only dance theater that expressively and boldly promotes the aesthetics of street dance and implements it on the theater stage. <…> K. Apanavičiūtė, 2016-06-03, M-puslapiai
The theater’s repertoire includes six performances, two Golden Stage Cross awards, Borisas Dauguvietis’ Earring for successful searches for new forms of stage expression combining street dance and theater in performances, and pedagogical activities that are changing the face of contemporary dance in Lithuania.
By experimenting and combining different dance styles, choosing themes for productions and educating young dancers on stage, Low Air is developing and gathering a community of creative professionals around it, seeking to take a new step forward by strengthening the offering of contemporary performing arts in Lithuania.
