Apply now!

Where: NOD Nuova Officina della Danza, Via Mantova 34 Torino – Italy

When: December 9 – 13, 2024

Deadline for applications: As long as there is space. First come, first served.

Each day begins with a guided improvisation class aimed at sparking the connection between the dancers’ sensations and their physical possibilities. This initial exploration allows participants to experience movement tasks within a natural flow, before gradually zooming in on these ideas with more time, creativity, and discussion. The workshop portion includes learning existing material, compositional games, and opening dialogues. A significant focus of the workshop is on individual expression and theatricality using the body, which will also be explored through storytelling-both physical, written, and spoken. Olivia offers a supportive space for dancers to dive deeper into their ability to juggle multiple physical, sensorial, and creative tasks. She encourages participants to listen to their own movement habits while inviting them to explore new approaches.

Wednesday December 11, during the five-day session, Olivia will also introduce a strategic mentoring session.
This session will cover approaching auditions, introduction to different dance scenes, freelancing versus company lifestyles, and developing skills and artistry among other relevant subjects. The seminar will also open conversations, providing a platform for participants to ask questions and reflect on the many facets of building a creative and sustainable career in dance.
