This creative laboratory is designed as an in-studio movement and dance improvisation session to generate original movement vocabulary.

The master workshop on choreographic composition is designed as an in-studio movement and dance improvisation session that serves as a creative laboratory for participants. The session is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on a discussion of choreographic terminology, providing a foundational understanding for all attending artists. The second part encourages participants to generate original movement vocabulary through spontaneously and with guided tasks, fostering movement experimentation and “dance happenings” by engaging in various “choreographic games.”

Part 1: Introduction & choreographic terminology lecture
Part 2: Practicing movement improvisations & instantaneous dancing
Part 3: Open discussion forum and closing remarks
