Askonas Holt works with some of the world's finest dance and theatre companies for tours and presentations in the UK and overseas. The company's expertise covers everything from smooth logistics through to dynamic marketing, and has resulted in a rapid expansion of our work in this area in recent years. In 2008 Askonas Holt, in partnership with Sadler's Wells and Raymond Gubbay Ltd, launched "Spring Dance", a major new arts initiative for London. The project sees five weeks of presentation each year at the London Coliseum, London's largest theatre and one of the world's great stages for dance, kicking off in 2008 with the New York City Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, Carlos Acosta, Sylvie Guillem and Russell Maliphant. Askonas Holt is also proud of its ongoing association with Companhia de Dança Deborah Colker from Rio de Janeiro, winner of a Laurence Olivier Award for 'Outstanding Achievement in Dance', as well as with The Australian Ballet, Bangarra Dance Theatre and Norwegian National Ballet. Following a highly successful UK tour in 2004, Askonas Holt also worked with the Royal New Zealand Ballet on their debut tour of China in 2007, with performances receiving huge acclaim in Shanghai, Suzhou and Beijing.In Spring 2006, Askonas Holt presented Kabuki at Sadler's Wells in London and the Holland Festival in Amsterdam, with two productions featuring the brightest young star of the genre, Ebizo Ichikawa XI. Future plans include the return of Kabuki, a debut European tour for the Suzhou Kun Opera Theatre, and further touring with the China National Beijing Opera Company.
