Presentation

"During this intensive, I will share compositional and choreographic material from my last two years of research with dancers, exploring composition, concepts and dramaturgy and open the possibility for their evolution through work with dancers. During this dynamic and powerful two days dancers will also have an opportunity to learn part of repertory from our latest work with company dancers. The focus will be on partnering, solo and group compositions."

— Petra Zanki

 

This is Petra Zanki's inaugural NYC Intensive. Participants may be considered for future projects with Cie. Petra Zanki Dance Company.
