Workshops Shanghai Festival

This first edition of the Festival in Shanghai provides an opportunity to demonstrate Dance Reflections’ commitment to the values of transmission and education. Workshops, which have enriched each previous edition, are at the core of this choreographic event. Over the course of several weeks, professionals and dance students—both open level and youth—are invited to a lively and immersive look into the world of contemporary dance. During these workshops, choreographers and performers become educators, relaying their artistic vocabulary—movements or techniques—and excerpts from their repertoires to participants. Each of these educational moments aims both to foster exchanges between the dance community and the audience and to allow the latter to understand this universe through personal experience.
