Explore the vast landscape of the world of dance and embodiment.
Contemporary dance, partner work, Contact Improvisation, performance practice.
All & Beyond is a process-oriented program centered around the athletic and somatic facets of dance, movement, and embodiment. Cultivating body intelligence, physical expression, and developing both individual and group practices are at the core of the program.
This year-long program offers professional training and is open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. A basic level of prior experience in the fields of dance or embodiment is required.
The program aims to support each participant in developing their physical intelligence and refining their artistic skills in dance and performance. Through a unique blend of teaching modalities and pedagogical approaches within the Movement Lab, students will gain comprehensive knowledge and experience in contemporary dance, movement-based exploration methods, contact improvisation and partnering, performance practice, and stage experience.
In addition, the program fosters presence through touch and supports the development of non-verbal communication skills—providing a robust foundation for future work in the fields of embodiment and touch-based healing modalities.
The program consists of four core modules and one optional module.
The mandatory modules are taught over 9 hours per week across 33 weeks. These modules are designed as a gradual, cumulative process of acquiring knowledge and developing skills.
The optional module takes place weekly for 2.5 hours (throughout the program) and is guided by rotating guest teachers. Each participant is required to attend a minimum of 10 hours in total (4 sessions), with the option to attend as many additional sessions as desired.
Together, all modules form an in-depth, process-oriented learning experience.
