Improvisation signatures

April 13 (8:30 – 10:30)
April 14 (9:00 – 11:00)

The workshop explores dance improvisation as a structured and professional practice with emphasis on authenticity. Participants will discover the fundamental principles of improvisation and methods for developing artistic identity.

Through guided exercises and creative tasks, dancers will learn how to use improvisation to generate material, build stage pieces, and develop character and narrative. The workshop also focuses on expanding movement vocabulary and identifying personal “signature” qualities in each participant’s style. 

I invite you to our creative flow, let’s inspire each other with our uniqueness.
