His week-long workshop serves as a unique
opportunity to learn select
material from the most recent repertory works of
Jonah Bokaer
Choreography. Beginning with a warm-up focused on
energetically
charging the body, dancers will prepare for movement
experimentation
incorporating ideas from dance, theater, architecture
and media. Special
emphasis will be placed on exploring repertory phrases

with the opportunity to gain insight to the generative
process of the
choreography. During / after the workshop, up to two
