Movement theater was founded in 1978 by the legendary Latvian artist Ansis Rūtentāls (1949-2000) under the name LU Student Theater Movement and Plastic Group. At that time, the theater was characterized by two basic principles of the creative process: the visual interpretation of music and the expression of associations created by a musical composition in movement, as well as the creative personality of an actor interested in world events.
Since 200, Ansis Rutentals Movement Theatre has been headed by Dzintars Krūmiņš. It is an independent company that creates stage works, participates in video installations and performances. The theater does not have its own permanent premises, performances are rarely staged and performed (at the Independent Theater “Skatuve”, at the Theater House of the Latvian Academy of Culture “Zirgu pasts”). The theater has participated in festivals and performed in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Armenia, England, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Austria and Hungary.
