Detailed description of the training activity

Participants will alternate between being directors and performers to experiment with different ideas and share creative tools.

In the first session, a clear plan will be established detailing who will direct whom and when, ensuring equitable time for everyone to refine their creative attempts.

Through a series of spontaneous mini-creations and constructive feedback, participants will receive direct comments from performers on their directing approach.

Intended for: Professional circus and dance creators who want to try out staging ideas or conceptualizations on other performing artists.
