The Program

CDL : Reggio Calabria, Italy / October 12th - 17th 2020

Over 6 days, we will dive into physical-movement research with artists from both fields, dance and circus. According to our program, the first 4 days we will work on pure technique and exploration.

The last two days, we will move to the creative process with the intent to blend AcroFloorwork, Contemporary Dance and Partner Acrobatic.
We’ll guide you through tasks to create a performance, using the material learned and explored during the week.

Be aware!

Our program isn’t a retreat but a research and unconventional performance program. In the frame of the venue, there will nature and excursions planned, specially our sea is special! But we want you to draw your attention and focus on the daily physical practice. A commitment and desire to learn from our program is essential.

The main goal is to create a safe environment and a committed space where each participant can grow and improve individually as well as a community.

We are so excited to sweat and enjoy your progress with you!
