The EDUCATIONAL YEAR DANCE is divided into 5 phases.

Phase 1 - A lot of training but also theory - When the head is well filled, the body also works better and creativity can unfold in the best possible way. As we consider theoretical backgrounds to be very important for dance artists, there are basic theoretical seminars

Phase 2 - build-up phase - finding a group, lots of training, exploring the body, your own limits and possibilities... sweat, dance, grow! The multi-day OPEN HOUSE, a workshop performance, start planning your own pieces

Phase 3 - Working with choreographers - lots of training, and the development of several stage pieces for the final performance with various professional choreographers

Phase 4 - Training, training, training! - Intensive group-related training, space and time to realize own artistic projects, group trip

Phase 5 - Creation phase - In the final phase, your own pieces are developed, rehearsed and brought together with the group pieces of the professional choreographers to create a joint full-length final performance - the KONDENSAT. Experiencing the stage together is a central component of the Bildungsjahr Tanz.
