Krakow Dance Theatre invites dance artists from Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania and Sweden to the first Krakow edition of the Dance Communication Lab, taking place 31 August – 4 September 2023.
DCL – Dance Communication Lab – is a space for the exchange of experiences between those who participate. The main purpose of the meeting is for six dancing people to get to know each other through improvisation, the most expressive and characteristic creative process in contemporary dance.
The main theme of the DCL will be translations and dialogue.
The DCL assumes a democratisation of the creative process, collaboration on equal terms of all the people taking part in this meeting. The DCL organised in Krakow envisages inviting a local artist representing a different field of art to collaborate. The process will be open to dialoguing between genres, languages and creative tools.
DCL will conclude with a show for the public as part of the dance presentation programme Rollercoaster: Collectors of Impressions on the stage of the Cricoteka Centre for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor in Krakow.
The project is carried out within the framework of Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery, a Creative Europe project (2023-2026) created by Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), Bunker (Slovenia), Hrvatski institut za pokret i ples - HIPP (Croatia), Krakow Dance Theatre (Poland), M Studio (Romania) and Vitlycke – CPA (Sweden) to foster local development of the contemporary dance fields.
The DCL is aimed at dance professionals, people who dance, choreograph and practise movement activities who are from Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania or Sweden.
Accommodation, travel costs, catering and a fee of 150 EUR are provided by the organisers.
