Workshop Description
The 4-day intensive offers participants a deep dive into the dance universe of Jill Crovisier and is structured as follows: After a warm-up class based on the choreographer’s versatile movement research and practice, Jill Crovisier offers participants a moment of exploration around theatrical storytelling in dance. This aims to gain a deeper understanding of the theatrical application of physicality and its transformative potential in the performing arts. While playing with physical and narrative skills, each participant will work on enhancing their ability to connect emotions, sensations, images, and movement. The choreographer will share some of her practices to guide participants in a personal research process around character work and theatrical storytelling in dance. Furthermore, Jill Crovisier shares composition tools and individually guides participants in developing choreographic patterns.
