After immersing ourselves in Patric‘s journey, it’s time to move! Lace up your sneakers (all willing) and participate in an interactive workshop. Explore the nuances of classical and contemporary partnering techniques while unraveling the intricate language of nonverbal communication amongst dancers.
Cap off the evening with an exclusive premiere screening of two dance film shorts! First up, Dancers Feet, starring Patric, Fuki, Sophie, and all six of their mesmerizing feet. Then, witness the behind-the-scenes magic in The Making of Slam! This documentary-style piece offers a glimpse into last season’s hit ballet, featuring our entire company alongside slam poets.
