The TRAK DANCE ENSEMBLE was founded in Salzburg in 2016 by Hector Palacios (MEX). TRAK is a professional dance and performance company based in Stockholm, Sweden. Hector Palacios is the artistic director of the company, and together with the co-director Stella Blanc (SWE) TRAK has since the beginning, invited international dancers and choreographers to create multiple dance projects that have come to shape the company into what it is today.
The TRAK Dance Ensemble has performed works at festivals such as the Innovations Dance Platform Edinburgh, Mozart Woche Salzburg, Tanzhaus Festival Salzburg, Red Sapata TANZFABRIK Linz and Tanečno Festival in Orava, Slovakia, and closely collaborated with theaters like the Toihaus Teater and ARGEkultur Salzburg. TRAK has since the start worked with the choreographers Ryan Mason and Barnaby Booth, both serving an important role in defining the work of the company. The TRAK Dance Ensemble has worked with institutions like the Stiftung Mozarteum, IWANSON International School of Contemporary Dance, Mozarteum University Salzburg, Orff-Institut Salzburg, Musisches Gymnasium Salzburg, Thomas Bernhard Institut Salzburg and the MDW - Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Wien/ University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.
