It included the elements of Eurhythmics–Choreography which is a holistic training approach by involving body, intellect, and emotions with the aim to gain physical awareness and experience of the relationship between music and dance. The other part used dance-fusion by producing a hybrid dance piece through the experimentation in different dance styles with the aim to promote kinetic vocabulary. The local culture was presented during the workshop on Greek Folk stories in Choreography when we learnt about history, preservation and symbolism.

We will do multiple thinking at the level of storytelling – comedy – dance – physical theater. The residency focused on developing ideas and learning technical skills.
First training Cracow 24-26.10.2021
The first Short-Term Joined Staff Training Event took place in Cracow, Poland. The topic of the training covers astronomy and photography. We learned how to combine science with art. Astronomy is a branch of natural science that use light form stars and other astronomical objects. Most of the radiation is invisible for human eyes. So astronomical pictures need to be coloured to reveal the full beauty of the Universe. During the training we learned how people perceive colours and how they are register by the astronomical equipment. The main outcome was to prepare an own piece of art – an astrophoto.
