authentic expression, musicality and repertoire

the workshop is focused on training in contemporary, which includes technique, musicality, stamina, and the challenge of researching creativity, choreographic skills, and composition. through tasks, creation, and learning repertoire from emma evelein, dancers are encouraged to train in a diverse palette of contemporary dance, partnering, and improvisation, with a main focus on authentic expression and the development of a unique movement language. dancers are also guided on how to navigate and sustain themselves in a dynamic work field. on request, a section of the workshop can be dedicated to dance in film, camera work with dance, and how it functions within the dance film industry, across both art, short, and industry films.
