Adriaan Luteijn definitely isn’t a standard choreographer. In 1998 he ended his career as a dancer at Introdans, and from this time on he began to develop his choreographic activities for a range of dancers and institutions in the Netherlands and far abroad. In all of his works connection and the human variety are the keywords. He flourishes with the friction and collision happening in his working processes with dancers from usually separated worlds, one of them always a skilled professional. That friction is what delivers the energy. Luteijn enjoys ‘serendipities’, special opportunities that cross his path and that also inspire people with whom he creates. People that come from a wide variety of physical, social, cultural and intellectual worlds.
