Stefan Crainic & Josephine Haas
Emerging Fantasies: The Artist, The Dancer, The Athlete
Emerging Fantasies: The Artist, The Dancer, The Athlete is an initiative designed to foster creative exploration at the intersection of sports and the arts. Our goal is to establish an environment where we actively promote learning, problem-solving, and effective communication. During this workshop, we will explore the landscape of our bodies, breaking down barriers between disciplines to develop a better understanding of ourselves. By analysing human locomotion, we will integrate elements from various disciplines such as dancing, martial arts, and athletics, thus developing a more responsive and adaptable organism. During this workshop, we will dive into areas such as improvisation, movement situations (games & partnering), coordination, forms and acrobatics. This workshop is dedicated to dancers and movers that already have at least a few years of experience.
please be aware of our early bird special offer for this workshop! you can apply for this offer up until the 15th of september 2024. after the 15th the regular workshop fee applies. applications are accepted up until one day before the workshops starts.
