During this short introduction to “instant composition”, we will open our senses and discover different elements to choreograph in the moment, while improvising. We zoom in on different parameters that can range from our own dancing body, from the connection to others, the space and the connection to the music. We hone our ability to move, listen and react in the moment.

For this workshop, Oona Van Aken draws on insights gained from master classes by Maya M. Carroll, Julyen Hamilton, Matej Kejzar and Martin Sonderkamp, among others, as well as her own choreographic work.

Practical

Wear clothes in which you can move easily. We dance barefoot. Bring a bottle of water for during breaks and a light packed lunch for during the lunch break.

Level of experience

Level X: this course is open to everyone, regardless of prior knowledge, or dance experience!
