THE COMPANY
Namotion Dance Company was founded at the start of 2021 with the intention to create meaningful projects that promote artistic interdisciplinarity among Swiss artists.
We firmly believe that the first step to solving any problem lies within oneself. With our work we want to bring the audience closer to the reality of a collective peace. We want do invoke new thoughts and give new perspectives by addressing specific topics that are not often talked about. We dive into the human core and express our findings through art.
