Dance Lab with Andrea Bu Otman

What happens

• In the lab, Andrea will share his approach to movement and invite you to explore it through your own body and individuality. The foundations of his movement language are improvisation, physical exploration and sensitivity; it combines complexity, precision, rhythmic shifts and sudden changes of pace.
• Over four days, you’ll create a group dance piece. It will be performed on 27 December on a theatre stage as part of an evening of performance and improvisation; the venue will be announced later.
• On 26 December, Andrea will be a guest judge at an experimental battle. Further information and participation details will be announced separately.
• An open workshop will take place on 27 December. The time may change slightly closer to the date.
