Jenny Beyer

DEUX: CHOREOGRAPHIC PROJECT

In this course entitled DEUX, Hamburg choreographer Jenny Beyer deals with the format of the duet in dance and focuses on the encounter between two dancers. What happens when two dancers meet on stage in front of an audience? How can the classical/historical form of the pas de deux serve as a framework to make interpersonal encounters visible and tangible? As part of the choreographic research for her next production, Jenny Beyer will be helping participants to develop duets of their own to be shared with the audience in a short concluding presentation.

Open to all | No prior experience required
