WORKSHOP FOR SCHOOL CLASSES
TO THE PLAY "TERRA INCOGNITA"
suitable for secondary and high schools
In connection with the visit to the performance of TERRA INCOGNITA we offer a 60-minute workshop for school classes. This workshop can also be held separately from the performance and in this case with more time. The performance will be complemented by a supporting programme that will make the contact between artists and young people closer and more personal. The aim is to actively involve the young people into this play.
A big part of the work in TERRA INCOGNITA is object manipulation. In the workshop the school classes will build creatures with materials and objects of our pool and bring them to life. With our dramaturge of the play they will work on small texts, deconstruct and reconstruct them, and experience and explore movements from the play, through professional guidance. In this workshop the students will move from playful writing, verbal and physical expression, to build with a lot of creativity and imagination fantastic creatures. Through this workshop they will be able to experience themselves and the group in a completely different way.
The universal themes of the object theatre are perfectly suited to the theme of "finding oneself" in the period of adolescence. The literary basis of the play comprises central works of philosophy, psychology, mythology and fiction and is therefore perfectly suited for secondary and high schools.

DANCE FOR (G)OLDIES
IMPROVISATION COURSE 50+
Hella Immler
Dancing is a artistic and creative way of expression that doesn't know any age limit. The dance improv courses address curious and adventurous adults between 50 and 105 who are still - or again - eager express themselves through movement.
It doesn't require a flexible body - we can even dance sitting! - but a nimble mind. Through dance we learn to become conscious of and to feel our bodies. You will learn an entirely new facet of your personality and that it's never too late not even with 60, 70...
The shared joy of expressing ourselves through dance is central in this sensual, intuitive and individual movement language. To let everybody dance how their bodies allow them, so they can follow their needs - that's my motto.

THE FICTIONAL SKIN
Spontaneous Composition
Emilio H. Díaz Abregú
This workshop led by Emilio H. Díaz Abregú addresses dancers, choreographers, performers, actors and other artists who are interested in analysing movement. Improvisation as a space of creation. What are the right assignments that help us to find results that can be shown on stage? We try out assignments, we experiment and research. This workshop serves as an exchange and a panel to analyse questions and topics that theatre and dance have in common. The structure of this workshop alter rates between theory and practice what makes it rich and exciting.

My WILD-gentle beast in me
Contemporary dance workshop
Hella Immler
«Men are like all other animals playful by nature..»
This is a class, a moment, to cultivate our inherent physical intelligence, and experiencing fun and joy moving together and «being moved».
We start with a very body-aware, deep and dynamic warm up that activates our full sensitivity by stimulating our imagination with internal images. Thereby we become more conscious of our bodies and learn to know it better. We relax our articulations and let the energy flow with maximum efficiency.
This work prepares the body for a highly physical and energetic class. We focus on the concept of "attack and release": I am relaxed but physically always ready to attack. The extensive floor work constantly demands a natural flow, precision and a strong centre. Dean soft, flowing, space consuming and at the same time swift, precise, strong but relaxed, is the challenge of this class - a physically demanding training.
