We shall be working with the principles of chorus, learn movement variations drawing from our physical givens and potential. We will use movement sequences to create a brief joint choreography based on an excerpt of minimalist compositions (Philip Glass, Steve Reich).
Tutors: Petra Fornayová, Fero Király
The workshop is followed by a screening of short dance films and an informal Q&A session.
