ADFK Winter Camp is a 5-day winter residency and performance lab held at the tranquil Daegwangsa Temple near Seoul. The program blends traditional Korean cultural practices—temple meditation, music, and dance—with collaborative creation and international exchange. Artists from around the world create new works inspired by Korean spaces, culminating in a final showcase and potential follow-up opportunities at the Summer/Fall ADFK Festival or ARTSinTANK Online Theater.

Two Creative Tracks, One Shared Experience

The ARTSinTANK Winter Camp invites Korean and international artists to explore creativity through dance, music, and cultural immersion. Participants choose between the Dance & Music Lab for collaborative creation or the Choreographer’s Camp for guided solo work. Shared morning practices and focused afternoon sessions support artistic growth as participants connect, exchange ideas, and transform Korea’s cultural and natural environment into new artistic expression.

 ● Korean Inspirations ┃ International Dance & Music Lab : For dancers and musicians eager to collaborate

 ● Korean Inspirations ┃ Choreographer’s Camp : For choreographers seeking to expand their choreographic voice
