Master Class with Vortice Dance Company

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOPS:

The creators of Vortice Dance Company will conduct workshops based on the choreography presented at the Retroperspektywy Festival in the performance "Home 2.0." The workshop participants will learn how to take a breathtaking dance, performed between amazing visualizations, to the workshop room. They will find out how many attempts, hours of work, precision and hardship lies behind the scenes of spectacular dance shows.

The workshpop will start with a warm-up, followed by the passage of body language / sequences of moviment, that make part of the choreographic universe of the two choreographers and their pieces. Artists will also discuss a little about the process of creating the performance 'HOME 2.0.' and they will let the participant experience the movement inherent in it.
