ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This 2-day intensive offers a concentrated introduction to the fundamentals of the decentralized approach to choreography through various processes developed over more than 30 years of creative research and practice. Participants will gain first-hand access to the mechanics and philosophy behind Emanuel G*t’s approach, allowing for both an embodied experience of the creative tools and insight into the thought processes that underpin the practice.
Running from 11:00 to 17:00, the intensive includes a structured warm-up and a one-hour lunch break, with the remaining time fully dedicated to working within Emanuel G*t’s choreographic practice.
