ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop gives you tools and methods on how to create scenes in movement-based performative arts.
Based on some scenic exercises we compose choreographic compositions. Out of those compositions we make scenes where we approach subjects like
how to work with a theme?
how to work with a narrative/ a story?
what are the actors intentions and emotions in the material?
Or, on the other hand, what stories and themes can emerge from the movements we create?
