In
2008 the company opened for the first time to external choreographers
and invited Guy Weizman and Roni Haver (Club Guy and Roni) to
create the Chaos Quartet which received its premiere in February
in the SaT! theatre. The piece was accompanied by the piece Tort
created by Thomas Noone with music composed by Diego Dall’Osto.
TND has performed extensively
in Spain and abroad gaining the acclaim of both critic and general
audience. The company has participated in national and international
festivals (Madrid en Danza and Dansa Valencia in Spain, Le Temps

In 2005 Thomas Noone
Dance became the resident company in the saT! (Sant Andreu Teatre,
Barcelona,) within the Catalan Governments artist residency plan.
In the saT! they are involved not only in the creation of their
new works and performance of their repertory but also in other
activities such as workshops and the Dansat Festival that look
to promote and impulse dance in Barcelona and beyond.
