Choreographic module Aug.16-Sept. 12
Collective choreographic & independent coaching project. Preserving and developing our collaborative histories, nurturing new networks and deepening our relationships within the international field of dance and related forms. Each week will be facilitated by 2 choreographers or teams with 2 hours of group practice offered per day and then individual non-structured working time. Group & solo involvement will be spontaneously proposed during the process. Individuals will have enough studio time to create their own work, with access to constructive feedback, artistic exchange & research. The Choreographic Module will end with a public showing in Berlin. (This is not required but an offer). This work is for professionals who know how to structure time, ideas and be in an open process about the nature and theoretical approaches to their work.

Performance Schwelle 7, BerlinP.O.R.C.H. includes a lifestyle experience and a way of being that can only be possible out of an urban setting and beyond convention. Potential creative choreographies/ performances and happenings are made each year. We would like to bring them into a more supportive and realized form for each artist's continual efforts.
The program is facilitated by an international faculty team professionally active in the creative and performance fields, who have also been involved in the making of the Ponderosa TanzLand festival over the last 10 years. In these facilitators, we bring inspiring international collaborative histories together. The facilitators will channel their energy and creativity into a diverse teaching experience & enable an active ground for performers, artists as well as current and future teachers.
