ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is intended for contemporary dancers and is based on a fusion of various dance styles that form Branko's choreographic vocabulary, with a strong emphasis on elements of street dance.
The program includes:
– warming up the body and mind through awareness and movement control exercises
– work on coordination and movement mechanics
– floor work techniques
– exploring movement qualities through the dynamic phrasing of choreographic material
The second part of the workshop focuses on choreography in progress, with emphasis on stage presence, expressiveness, and interpretation. Participants are invited to actively engage in the process and adapt the material to different performative contexts.
Places are limited.
