#DANCELESS complex - Contemporary Dance Festival "Think with the ( ) Body" - Fringe Activities

Besides bringing us performances at different venues, the invited choreographers will also lead various types of exchange programs to stimulate imagination and exchange ideas. Yang Zhen and Jefta van Dinther will each hold public workshops to allow the public to participate and share their methodologies. At the same time, they will engage in exchange programs with local professional dancers for four to eight days, and present their outcomes from this exchange to the public towards the end of their program. It is hoped that through longer periods of in-depth exchange, the creative process and perspectives of interdisciplinary communication will be revealed.
