Creative Flamenco Labs
These online workshop intensives offer an insight into our creative practice, providing specific tools for movement investigation that derive from flamenco rhythm, movement and expression.
Over the course of 3 hours, participants will use a theme (e.g. a flamenco palo) to explore a range of different composition tools, drawing on essential components of flamenco to generate their own choreographic material.
Participants will be encouraged to share their findings in a friendly environment, creating an opportunity for positive, constructive feedback from the other members of the group. This workshop is designed for both professional and non-professional flamenco dancers as well as dancers of other styles, actors & movers.
The next LAB will take place in September 2024.
