Lloyd Newson & DV8: 22 Aug 2-5pm... more infoAfter your Bio is reviewed, you will be forwarded an invitation & booking password.
In the case that your professional experience is not of the standard requested by DV8, we will not be able to invite you to book for this workshop. We apologise for any dissapointment - but we must take into consideration the high standard of applicants and the limit of 20 places for this workshop.
Hannes Langolf and Ira Mandela Siobhan of DV8 Physical Theatre will teach sections from DV8’s newest repertoire, Can We talk About This? , with participants also taking part in creative exploration of synthesis of movement and text; all under the watchful eye of Newson.
DV8 Physical Theatre was formed in 1986 and has been led since its inception by Lloyd Newson. The company has produced 16 highly acclaimed dance pieces, which have toured internationally, and four award-winning films for television.
Join the daringly innovative Israel Galván in this intimate workshop. Working within the flamenco discipline participants will experience first-hand Galván’s unique style and technique.
Galván will present two examples of flamenco dance, the Martinete and Solea por Bulería. While giving guidance Galván will share his own flamenco language, with participants incorporating this into their own dance language.
Israel Galván comes to Australia for the first time to perform at Spring Dance 2011. A master of contemporary flamenco, Galván’s work as both dancer and choreographer has won him a number of awards including Spain’s prestigious National Dance Prize.

Led by renowned dancer and choreographer, Ros Warby, this session will encourage participants to eliminate attachment to prescribed techniques or choreographic approaches, inviting the body to undo any pre-conceived notions of what dance is. Thereby creating a chance for the dancer to express a complex and indefinable range of experience through the humour, intelligence and emotional engagement of the dancing body. This work challenges the dancer to wake up and notice what it is they are doing in their dance. This shift in attention aims to stimulate the intelligence of the dancer, and, in turn, elevate their level of engagement in both performance and dance making.
Alain Platel & Les Ballets C de la B : 2 Sept 10am-1pm

Gain an insight into the making of Belgium’s Les Ballets C de la B, in this Q&A with director Alain Platel.
Les Ballets C de la B offers a unique mixture of artistic visions. From a unique universe, where "the sordid and the magnificent, the public and the intimate, tenderness and irony, violence and vulnerability intertwine in a unique blend of the trivial and the sacred, the grotesque and the sublime" (Adolphe JM)
In this 3 hour Q&A, Alain Platel will explain what made the ‘style’ of Les Ballets C de la B; a popular style, anarchic, eclectic and committed, under the motto: "This dance is part of the world and the world belongs to everyone."
He will also give an insight in the making processes of his own work, accompanied by video materials. (Participants are requested to have seen the work Out of Context – for Pina).
Known for making intelligent dance-theatre work for children, Fevered Sleep will lead a choreography focused workshop exploring themes of landscapes, space and perspective – with the aim to create work that engages with and inspires young audiences.
Antony Hamilton & Byron Perry: 26 Aug 12-2pm
LEVEL: PROFESSIONAL/GRADUATE

Perry and Hamilton’s collaborative work often revolves around their common love of the juvenile, the absurd. This workshop will reveal aspects of the methodology used to create their work, I Like This (commissioned and presented by Chunky Move), and invites participants to explore their own sense of humour and play with improvisational tasks, both physical and verbal.
