Om workshopen:
This workshop offers dancers an opportunity to dive into the physical universe of Kaleidoscope—a vibrant, sensory-rich dance production originally created for young audiences and individuals with diverse needs. Through this workshop, participants explore how clarity, intention, and emotional nuance are embedded in choreographic material designed to communicate across age, ability, and neurodiversity.

We begin with a dynamic, full-body warm-up with the aim of building presence, sensitivity, and readiness in the body through guided explorations that connect breath, rhythm, articulation, and spatial awareness.
Dancers are encouraged to tap into both precision and imagination, engaging deeply with sensory cues and intuitive pathways.

Participants will learn select choreographic phrases from the performance Kaleidoscope, which features multilayered material. The movement is playful yet rigorous, with attention to rhythm, contrast, emotional intention, and the interplay between internal imagery and external form.
