Two ways into composition

Workshops for dancers, choreographers and anyone who wants to make movement mean something. Both can be adapted in length and depth for schools, companies and festivals.

From Image to Movement workshop

From Image to Movement

This workshop is based on an original method where movement emerges from written text and imagery. The process begins with creating a short story, an emotional tone, or a series of micro-narratives that serve as the foundation for choreographic composition.

Each section is analysed and transformed into movement through rhythm, dynamics, spatial work, and impulse. Participants explore how narrative content can be expressed through the body, turning movement into a powerful tool of storytelling.

Who it is for

Dancers and choreographers who want to build meaningful, image-driven stage compositions, where physicality becomes an extension of inner meaning.

Imagination in Motion workshop
Dance composition · imagination and creativity

Imagination in Motion

This workshop explores the creative potential of imagination in dance. Imagination helps dancers see any movement not as a mistake but as part of the creative process. It removes the fear of imperfection and allows freedom to experiment and express individuality.

Imagination becomes a tool for deep self-discovery and communication through dance. Participants work with visualisation, metaphors and inspiration drawn from other art forms, explore limitations, interact with objects, and dive into bodily sensations.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants to develop their creativity and build expressive, unmistakably personal dance compositions through play and exploration.
