A DULL LIGHT COMPANY
About
A Dull Light Company is a home for dance theater. It aims to shine a light on the mundane, the overlooked, the everyday. Each show emerges from a collaborative process between artists whose skills stretch across disciplines, creating works that feel honest, familiar and deeply immersive. A Dull Light seeks to illuminate the delights and the disappointments that we all share but rarely name.
Zach Enquist (founder and director) is originally from Minnesota (US) where he grew up as a hybrid competition kid + choir nerd + theater enthusiast, and the rest of his life has been spent contending with those competing voices (interests). Zach graduated in 2014 from the dance conservatory at SUNY Purchase College and went on to work with Mark Morris Dance Group, Hubbard Street 2 and Tanz Luzerner Theater, before making his way north to join GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. He and his dog Charlie have called Gothenburg home since 2020.
