This workshop is addressed to all those passionate about exploring contemporary dance and its adjacent forms.
“While working at WASP throughout the past year with people who had started their meeting with dance from point zero, and observing in them a remarkable capacity of adaptation and evolution, I decided to continue this series of workshops with a new module in which the material will be structured progressively, having a more intense approach, which will be finalized with a public presentation. Participation in the final presentation will be optional, however participants will be encouraged to experiment what could be their “first meeting with the audience”.
The workshop will include technical, improvisation, freedom of expression, play, relaxation and breathing exercises, combining contemporary dance with jazz, hip-hop and musicality elements, which will bring the dancers in front of their own selves, free, stripped of thoughts and ready to express their feelings through movement.”
Judith State is a professional dancer whose mentality is directed towards a complex and diverse approach of movement, as well as a harmonious fusion between these diverse and apparently contradictory components, musicality and interiorisation. Permanently searching for new experiences, she is interested in traveling, meeting and working with various choreographers whose styles vary from contemporary to jazz, street jazz and hip-hop, training both in New York (Broadway Dance Center), London and Gothenburg, as well as in Romania.
She is the founder of DaDans, a program throughout which professional contemporary dancers have access to an intensive yearly training program led by international choreographers. Among the choreographers she was lucky to work and train extensively with, Massimo Gerardi, Brice Mousset, Dana Foglia, Travis Wall and Billy Bell are to be named, while Luam, Jared Grimes, Jared Jenkins, Derrek Mitchell, Candace Brown, Derrell Bullock, Neil Schwartz, Hollywood and Joanna Numata are to be mentioned in relation to the street-jazz and hip-hop styles.
