PROJECT

Choreographic Research Course in collaboration with Conservatorium Antwerp

The third-year dance students of the Royal Conservatory in Antwerp come to wpZimmer in the frame of the Choreographic Research course. The course’s focus is to bring the students into new relationships with their environment via their artistic practices. Through individual and collective workings, the practitioner opens her ways of perception and process of materialisation. Working on off-campus work spaces and meeting the hosts take the students out of their usual environments. This year’s guest teacher Caroline Daish will introduce the students to voice-body practices.
