For two days we’ll dive into composition and creation proposals. On the first day, we’ll explore certain composition concepts working from improvisation and play with short fixed movement phrases and how they relate to each other. Expect lots of experimenting, playing and discovering.

On the second day, depending on the weather, we leave the studio behind and compose with(in) the spaces in and around OPEK. In smaller groups we’ll create a short composition to share with each other on the end of the day.

This workshop is open to people with dance experience who feel comfortable working from improvisation and with fixed material.

Practical

Wear clothing that allows you to move easily and optionally bring knee pads. Good to know: we dance barefoot. Also bring a bottle of water for breaks.

Good to know: from 6 to 11 July, you can enjoy a delicious lunch ‘with a view’ every afternoon on the iconic rooftop of OPEK. Bring your own lunch or buy soup and bread for €2.00 and join other Wisperlingen around the table. We hope to see you there!

Level of experience

Level X: this course is open to any dancer or mover that feels comfortable with improvisation and short, choreographed phrases of all levels, regardless of prior knowledge or dance experience.
