The workshop is for adults aged 16+
We will be improving contemporary dance techniques for
ten days. We will put emphasis on dance improvisation so that
each participant of the workshop could develop one`s ability to
express oneself through dance. Contact Improvisation (CI) and
activities improving Body Awareness are essential elements of the
workshop programme. All these actions will enable us to prepare
and give a performance on the last workshop day. It will be held in
the heart of Toruń`s breathtaking Old Town.
The venue for the contemporary dance workshop is the International Youth Meeting Centre in
Toruń (Międzynarodowe Centrum Spotkań Młodzieży in Toruń). The building was formerly referred to as
Richter`s Mill used for industrial purposes, later it became converted into a complex infrastructure with
