WORKSHOPS
Olga Meos
MEOS COMBO
Many people ask me how I found my style? And I don't know the answer. I was inspired and danced by a whole palette of other styles, all my teachers, polished with my own training and performances.
To give you an answer to this question, and also to share with you my vision of music and a sense of movement, I offer you 4 combinations within 2 hours. Different in contrast, style and dynamics.
After all, only through dance and practice on the mental level, we, the dancers, can understand each
other.
Friday, July 7th- 9:00 a.m.- 11:00 a.m.
CHOREOGRAPHIC PUZZLES
When I create a project, I prefer not to do it linearly, sequentially or by routine. I have a box of puzzles that need to be assembled to create a full picture. The question is, "what kind of picture do we want to create?" After all, sometimes we ourselves don't know what the end result will be.
Let's explore the choreographic puzzle together by figuring out how to create a magical and harmonious combination of elements
Saturday, July 8th- 2:20 p.m.- 4:20 p.m.
LET'S PLAY
Games were a way we first learned as children. Thanks to games, we explored the world, learned lessons, and improved our skills. This master class is dedicated to learning dance games that help you quickly
establish contact with other dancers, express your emotions, express yourself creatively, and most importantly, create choreography while having fun!
