History

QB

Quorum Ballet® is a repertoire contemporary dance company founded in 2005 by its artistic director, resident choreographer and dancer Daniel Cardoso. In October 2007, in partnership with the non-profit association AQK – Associação Quorum Cultural and the Municipality of Amadora, it opened the Quorum Academy with dance classes open to children, young people and adults, from which the young dance company Quorum Project derived.

Quorum Ballet® has presented several pieces by Daniel Cardoso and about 15 invited choreographers have collaborated with the Company, including Itzik Galili, Xie Xin, Donald Byrd, Barbara Griggi and Thadddeus Davis. In total, more than 65 productions were created, which include choreographic works for children and young people. Of the pieces produced, we highlight the work “Correr o Fado” by Daniel Cardoso who was present in 11 countries and “Sagração da Primavera | Made in China ”premiered at the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center in China, by Daniel Cardoso and the guest choreographer Xie Xin.

The rigor and professionalism of Quorum Ballet® has resulted in a frequent renewal of invitations by national and international theaters and institutions. After 15 years of work, the Company presents an average of 65 shows annually from north to south of Portugal, internationally it has been in about 18 countries including Denmark, United States, Poland, Singapore, Macau, China, Cyprus, Serbia, Ecuador, Holland, Thailand, Algeria, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Romania and Finland.

International recognition has been consolidated through extremely positive reviews in several newspapers and magazines, where the artistic and choreographic quality of Quorum Ballet® once again stands out.

Quorum Ballet has also developed a partnership with the Vaganova Academy (Kirov Ballet School), San Petersburg, entitled “From Classical to Contemporary Ballet”, the program was on national tour in 2009.
