Dance-theater workshop with Anna Wehsarg

Duration 240′

Calendar

Saturday 12/11/2011 → Monday 14/11/2011 from 14:00 to 18:00

Anna Wehsarg’s Workshop will be designed as a two-class learning experience – technical and composition/improvisation. The “Techniques Class” will use Joos-Leeder’s technique of modernity, which is specific to the Folkwang Dance School where the renowned dancer Pina Bausch had trained and developed her choreographic style. The second class will focus on Pina Bausch’s dance language, as a means of searching for movements, little details, and specifics that make up every participant’s unique, personal style.
