Artists

Katalin Lengyel

Katalin Lengyel comes from Szeged, Hungary, and studied literature and linguistics at the University there before turning to dance full time. After training at the Institute for Dance Art in Linz, Austria, she spent a year developing her artistic voice in residence at the Daghdha Mentoring Programme in Ireland. Currently living in Budapest, she organizes the cross-disciplinary festival ‘Frissek’ and makes her own work. Ferenc Fehér

Ferenc Fehér did not have formal training in dance, but rather developed his physical language through free style dancing and martial arts. He takes a great interest in studying the movement of animals and the natural world. He worked for many years with Anikó Juhász and has been making his own work since 2007, and has toured to festivals around the world.+ Show moreLocation: Mt. Vernon Dance Space1720 Mt.
