History
A|CH dance theatre was founded in 2000 by choreographer Anželika Cholina and her sister, the theatre's current director Greta Cholina, with a mission to make an independent creative process possible.
From the beginning the theatre has been dedicated to the creation of original works that celebrate the power of the human imagination and the scope of choreographic skills. During its 10 seasons, A|CH dance theatre has presented to spectators 19 dance performances.
Troupe
The theatre doesn't have a fixed troupe. For each performance A|CH theatre chooses the artists according to the requirements of the performance. The core of the theatre's troupe comprises 20 artists – students of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre and ballet artists from the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre.
