The rather peculiar style of Larumbe Danza has its origins in the eclectic formation, which the choreographer Karmen Larumbe (1936-1995), native to the region of Navarra, passed on to her artistic heirs Juan de Torres and Daniela Merlo, both directors of the company for the last 15 years. Since its beginning, the company has been in constant search of its own personal creative language, emphasising dance as an art form through diverse activities, spanning from cultural exchange with choreographers and companies, to conferences, debates and public education or training sessions at national or international level. It is therefore not merely another contemporary dance company, for its work explores new ways of expression through its own experience. Thus its dance performances go beyond the conventional art form by making the audience not only reflect upon the possibilities of dance as a language, but also gain the insight into new ways of contemplating reality. Since 2002 Larumbe Danza has been a member of an artistic residence program co-financed by the Madrid Community and the Coslada Culture Department. It is also sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Culture through the National Institute for the Performing Arts and Music (INAEM).
