WORKSHOP
The 5- day workshop consists two different aspects: the first 1.5 hour will focus on going trough contemporary based phrases and exercises. The most important goal for this is to stimulate participants to grow in their physical technique as well as in their own body language and who they are as a dancer. Within the phrases there is always space for creativity and authenticity. Next to the phrases and exercises we will be spending time on improvisation tools and open dance spaces to learn and inspire each other.
The second part of the workshop is called intervision to solve personal problems or challenges in the professional dance world. Each day we will discuss a case from one of the participants that contains something about being a dance artist. We will try to find solutions by asking questions with the main goal to stimulate creative thinking together. Next to developing creative thinking intervision is a method to develop active listening, growing a sense of empathy, asking good questions, innovative problem solving, and improving team work.
