Body & Performance Practices

Body & Performance Practices – formerly known as Training & Workshops – is not only open to all local dance and performance professionals. Artists from other disciplines, enthusiasts, and amateurs are welcome to join. This training concept expands how dance and performance can help us see and explore different forms of knowledge, generating a unique place for contemporary artistic and methodical discourse. An active area of possibilities to experiment, analyse, research, dream, discuss, take risks, realise, construct and deconstruct.
