research overview

 

research or die.

 

the following performance projects and research workshops are held by incredibly dedicated teachers and choreographers who come to b12 to share their knowledge and passion with you. you can just apply for the performance projects or workshops - but you also can apply for the stay and research performance project bundles, or the stay and research workshop bundles.

 

in order to suit different financial needs and research ideas, we have created different workshop options of different lengths: four, six and eight days, as well as other, special research workshops with a different length. and, of course, not to forget our beloved performance projects! you can mix and match and apply for the ones which work best for you.

 

please check out also our new, unbeatable b12 "stay & research" offers, which combine accommodation and workshops or performance eprojects!

 

visit our website regularly, as we will be adding more workshops and workshop formats, like online workshops, over time - and be aware of our early bird and price reduction options. you can find more details about all things b12 in our faq section!

 

enjoy!
