“Our wish has never been to be as accessible as possible, but rather to be as human as possible,” says Jordy Dik, artistic leader of Compagnie Tiuri. For five years now, his inclusive professional company has been part of the dance world and has already reached many milestones. Yet Jordy hopes that Compagnie Tiuri evokes more than inclusivity. “The concept of limitation hangs over us like a kind of cloud. We want instead to make visible the humanity that connects us all.”

Despite the many successes, Jordy still has plenty of dreams for the company. “I would very much like us to let go of the concept of limitation, because it quite literally only limits us. It places someone in a box. It creates prejudices and ensures that you reach a ceiling. That is precisely why we are working to make Compagnie Tiuri the most human company in the Netherlands. And with the most human company in the Netherlands, there simply belong very different people. Who can continue to develop infinitely.”
