RESIDENCY DESCRIPTION

Built on the model of the Emerging Choreographer Series (ECS), this laboratory is specially designed for choreographers and teachers interested in developing a new work both from an artistic and a production point of view.

The creative part follows the principles of The Wave Within method. During the workshop, participants will explore the movement of their body and choreographic language from a personal and emotional point of view, they will evaluate new choreographic tools, sources of inspiration and creativity  methods.

The second part is aimed at analyzing the effectiveness and communication of the "work in progress" through moments of feedback and exchange of opinions. Participants will also be guided to talk and write about their work, as well as evaluate the technical and production aspects of it.
