30 People teaching, learning and creating together. One week of hard work from 16-22th November, ending in Fenix Festival 22-24th November.

We will be all working on three main subjects:

​

Dance Exploration: investigate and stretch the technical limits of balfolk

Balfolk promotion: organising is not easy, doing it sustainable is even harder. Let's share some useful knowledge

Pedagogy: sharing and exploring pedagogical tools and approaches

​

During the residency we will see 6 Dance exploration workshops with collaborative labs, 3 balfolk promotion workshops, plus 6 balfolk challenges (pedagogy-oriented) and  6 warm-up and movement workshops. Moreover, we will be building 3 cooperative workshops that will take place during the Fenix Festival from the 22nd to the 24th of November.

Every contribution is valuable, opinions are precious, feelings are worth telling.

 

We will explore the techniques of our favorite dances, go through all the details, try some mixed and ideas, crazy stuff. We will also explore how to teach, explain to each other where do we teach from, where do we want to go, and try different approaches through laboratories. We will spend some time to think about how events are, what are their fragilities, which new models can we make work.

​

And, of course, we will dance. A lot. And we will have fun. A lot.

​

LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER: The Residency will be only in English. The Fénix Festival will be in English and Spanish.
