The class consists of a warm-up class leading into a guided investigation towards imagination and movement research tools for creating from the instant.
The warm-up class is a practice of body and mind, designed for animating one’s own creative work. The body is allowed to access its own intelligence by sourcing from its natural urge to be present, to move and to create. We tune into the relationship to gravity, centre, space, articulation, coordination and musicality. The practice is based on many years of ongoing research and training knowledge found in international movement and performance traditions such as contemporary to urban dance styles, Tai Chi, Karate and Japanese Butoh, continuously landscaping in dynamics of living experience. On this basis, Beljana will be sharing creative tools for diving into sensitivity and porousness towards imagination in movement and fullness in performance.
The class is providing space for deepening the immediate relationship between dancer and their art. In this listening space, the movement becomes our teachers. Beljana shares her practice as creator, sharing the space with creators.

Ido Grinberg’s class offers a dynamic exploration of movement through improvisation, phrases, and compositional tools, while drawing inspiration from ballroom and Latin dances in a playful way. The training moves between movement research, technical practice, and games that foster creativity, individual expression, musicality, spatial awareness, and connection with others.

So, have you sinned yet today? Snacked, feasted, indulged, regretted?
Navigating between transience, discipline, consumption, and excess, FOOD PORN deconstructs good old-fashioned table manners and invites you to a performative feast. Inspired by Baroque still lifes, vanitas, and hyper-aestheticized food photography, dancers Hanna Held and Andrea Kößler focus on the act of indulgence and its tipping points in this dance performance. A play between Baroque opulence and a feminist battlefield: FOOD PORN pushes narratives surrounding food to the point of absurdity and invites us to a collective seduction through the seemingly sinful allure of food.
Don´t wear your best clothes – there will be real food!
After many years of dance practice, Angus suggests viewing improvisation in the same way one experiences a landscape.
How can a landscape be performed? How is the body to move when seen as rain?
As older people or those with different physical abilities, should we strive to achieve a certain ‘recognised’ form? Or should we move our bodies into the forms they naturally take along their own individual paths?
Angus suggests that – much like nature – we must reshape ourselves with every step and in every moment if we wish to enjoy and celebrate our own journey.
This workshop explores ideas surrounding physicality and imagination, and investigates the improvising body in the same way we might explore a landscape…
For anyone interested in dance and movement.
The workshop will be held in English; German translation is available.
