A four-day creative research laboratory for professional dancers exploring improvisation as a performing art. Facilitated by Or Marin & Noam Carmeli.
Through embodied research, solo and collective practice, we will investigate improvisation as composition, communication, and live performance.
our shared research will unfold around the theme of Belonging -exploring the relationship between self, group, and environment.
The week culminates in a public improvisation performance that emerges from the creative process developed together throughout the laboratory.
The laboratory is designed for a small group of professional dancers, allowing the ensemble to develop a shared artistic language and perform together in the final public improvisation performance.
