Tentacle Tribe is a Canadian-Swedish creative alliance between Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund. Through conceptual Hip Hop and influences from all types of earthly creatures, this Montreal-based dance company creates uncommon dance works with a contemporary twist. As practitioners of different dance and movement techniques, active participants in the street dance scene, b-boy and b-girl, and as stage performers, Lê Phan and Elon Höglund approach choreography through a wide variety of movement philosophies. They create work that transcends the boundaries separating movement styles, and pieces that express the embodiment of music beyond technique.
