About the company

15Feet6 was founded late 2012 by Richard Fox and Jasper D’Hondt. The pair were later joined by Thomas Dechaufour and Tain Molendijk for the creation of what would become ‘Dynamite & Poetry’. The show toured European summer festivals and performed 236 shows in 12 different countries. In 2016, there were some changes to the line-up: Tain went back to study in Australia and Junhong Zhu a.k.a. Shine joined the team. A few years and many shows later Jasper and Shine took their retirement and 15feet6 welcomed Niko Miettinen from Finland and Spaniard Mateo Giron. After taking time to develop their practice in 2020, 15feet6 are ready to get back on tour with exciting new work.
