Jo Strømgen KompaniJo Strømgren Kompani (JSK) was founded in 1998 and, from its base in Norway, has grown to become one of the most successful independent groups in Scandinavia.

The company has toured in more than 60 countries to date, presenting around 150 performances each year in both major national theatres and small alternative venues around the world. JSK’s home stage in Oslo is the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, where Jo Strømgren serves as choreographer in residence.

Their style is characterized by a distinctive blend of dance and theatre, marked by a unique sense of humor that is often highly physical and combined with darker political undertones. Another “trademark” is the extensive use of nonsense language and, in recent years, a playful use of voice-over narration.
