With our ART& RESEARCH PROGRAM we offer dancers the opportunity to work closely with talented choreographers and dance creators. The program calls for dancers to take a deep dive into the research methods and movement of the choreographer. Under their guidance, we will collectively work towards a short presentation with your group.
You’ll be working in a collaborative setting in a 4-day program. During this period, everyone will have more time to explore the movement methods. This allows for a deeper understanding of their shared knowledge.
This program takes place at ART& STUDIOS, where we stimulate connection and building relationships within the dance community. The program includes a gathering during the final day, where you will have the opportunity to dance in a performance created by the talented choreographers.

DAY PROGRAM
Linde Wagemakers
"The period spent together will serve as a pre-research of ‘Infertile Grounds’, a theatre piece I’m aspiring to create after having created my first work ‘Time of my Life’.
We will therefore explore the essentiality of composition and storytelling. ‘Infertile grounds’ will be focused on unstable family systems, and their effects whilst growing into adulthood.
We’re going to delve deeper into my language which consists of organic, groovy and fluid movements, expressing relatable symbolism of everyday life. All of this will be fueled by your imagination, as I will guide you through a day of improvisations and set material."

"This week, we'll delve into the two main components of dance -
We will emphasize the physical aspects through rigorous training and practice, concentrating on flow, dynamics, and movement quality.
However, equally significant is our exploration of our inner selves, aiming to deepen our understanding of ourselves as both dancers and individuals.
We will incorporate meditative practices to invite and embrace our feelings and emotions, prioritizing our emotional well-being.
​
My goal is to establish a safe and nurturing environment where dancers can explore and forge connections with one another and themselves. I am very excited to share this journey with you!"

NIGHT PROGRAM
Sascha Lekatompessy
"During our time together, we'll explore movement driven by breath, impulse, and the natural ways our bodies move. We'll blend improvisation and choreography to create a seamless, natural union among the dancers, both as individuals and as a group. We'll aim for a continuous flow of movement, crafting new shapes and striving for a unified, organic motion.
Our guiding principles will be calmness, unity, and flow. Throughout our exploration, I'll highlight each dancer's strengths, fostering a supportive and pressure-free environment. We'll collaborate to uncover my unique movement style and define my role as a dancer and choreographer."

"Join me for a 4-day dance research experience focused on exploration and creativity. During this immersive journey, we will delve into movement without constraints and emphasize the power of intense physical expression.
It's an opportunity for dancers and choreographers to come together, collaborate, share ideas, and evolve.
I am looking for dedicated dancers who are willing to embrace the challenges of dynamic movement and actively engage in the choreographic process. Together, we'll uncover new aspects of movement and choreography, building up to a dance piece that defies expectations. Seize the chance to immerse yourself in a creatively charged and open environment with me"

Simultaneously during our research program, a residency will take place where we invite two creatives to do their individual research.
We will create a moment during the day where everyone will have a moment to connect with one another during the break. Where we will serve a small lunch.
On the last day of the research, we will have a presentation where the other artists in research during this period will also showcase their work
