Process of Situation: Transforming Observation
Choreo-Pedagogical Seminar with Alban Richard
The situation itself can be a resource that simply needs to be allowed to evolve. How can we remain open and receptive while this happens? The acclaimed French choreographer Alban Richard will offer tools for making choreography through observing the conditions inherent in each situation. How can we avoid rushing ahead or relying on a pre-set model or plan, and instead let ideas mature without ruling anything out? Simply uncover possibilities? Through experiments and improvisations guided by constraints based on observing bodies in motion, participants will work on trusting their own decisions and their effectiveness.
Led by leading experts
The pedagogical seminar enjoys ever-growing interest thanks to tutors such as Jean-Christophe Paré, an expert in the analysis of choreographic work, or Martha Moore, a pioneer of postmodernism. That is why our seminar offers a wealth of practical exercises. Our seminars are usually accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education (MŠMT) and every participant receives a certificate.
Combining artistic and pedagogical know-how
What makes the seminar unique is the way it brings together the experience of renowned dance artists with a pedagogical reach and the knowledge of dance teachers.
A diverse community, practical tools
The unique mix of participants, from professional choreographers to students of dance conservatories, is of great value from both an analytical-theoretical and a practical point of view. Our aim is to offer you not only theoretical teaching but above all practical skills and experience. In dance and choreography, personal experience is, after all, key.
A focus on new tools of choreographic composition
Each year the seminar introduces a new perspective on the subject, which adds to its uniqueness and topicality. We look for themes on the border between choreographic composition and dramaturgy.
