Adam has worked for various choreographers like Club guy and roni, Ivan Perez, Maxine doyle, Amos Bental, Yoann Bourgeois, Dalton Janssen…
About Adam’s Class | In this workshop we are going to explore the boundaries of our imagination connected to the physical body. The primal source of movement will be our senses, especially from within our skin. We’ll dive into sensations and imagery where there is no distinction between reality and imagination, between inner and outer sensation. Next to this we will also explore some of my recent repertoire and do creative tasks.
Mariko Kakizaki was born in Japan. She trained in rhythmic gymnastics during childhood and started dancing at the age of 18. She took part in Batsheva Ensemble dance company from 2012-2014 and L-E-V Sharon Eyal|Gai Behar from 2014-2020. As a choreographer she was awarded the Japan Dance Forum Award in 2020 and 2021. She is a certified Gaga teacher and co-owner of art-culture center “beq” in Kumamoto, Japan.
About Mariko’s Class | We will explore improvisational movement research and phrase work imbued with rich imagery. I value mind-body unity, and liberation of imagination and emotion through the body. In this workshop, we create a small scene together and explore the way to visualize inner feelings in the most precise and physical way.

About Seoljin’s Class | Seoljin Kim will be sharing a “PLAY BODY” dance workshop with an emphasis on gravity, time and space, texture, reality versus fiction and various characters in different situations. Participants will gain a better understanding of their bodies and individual expression.
Cree Barnett Williams choreographic/artistic research and work encompasses dance, theatre and satire, questioning the concept of the authentic self, acknowledging the body as a vessel of trauma, a historical resource and a tool for storytelling and human connection. Her practice has a somatic focus stemming from the need to emphasize physical and mental wellbeing in symbiosis. Her aim is to use listening, language and conscious awareness of her own experience to create safe working spaces in which to exchange. She has an interest in seeing ourselves and understanding our humanness through humour and movement/language specificity. With her work so far Cree has been exploring topics including the political nature of the female body, dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics and the urgent need for joy. – bio and class description to be announced soon.
About Cree’s Class | “Let‘s look at how we approach ourselves through voice, performance and theatricality in relation to movement. We will begin with a physical, somatic focused warm up, comprising breathing, checking in with ourselves, improvisation and set material. We won‘t aim to achieve technical feats, but to sense into sensitivity, detail and playfulness.”
