Willany Leó Improvisational Dance Theatre was founded in 2008 under the direction of Zoltán Grecsó, choreographer and dance teacher. One of the main characteristics of Willany Leó – due to the genre of improvisation – is experimentation and constant renewal. The artists belonging to the community regularly present improvisation performances, create online content, conduct research on improvisation, organize workshops for amateurs and professionals as well, and work with invited, external artists. The company was awarded the Rudolf Lábán Special Prize in 2019.

“ArtApp for me is a great way to create a structure for many possible solutions to help the unquestionably dying independent contemporary dance scene in Budapest to survive.” Levente Lukács – freelance contemporary dancer and art manager
