DEEP DIVE DANCE WORKSHOP SERIES

Welcome to Deep Dive Dance – a new contemporary dance workshop series for professional and pre-professional dancers. Offered as an opportunity for dance artists to come together and immerse themselves in the work of renowned and emerging choreographers.

Deep Dive Dance has been designed for intimate craft development through exposure to the work of great artists and teachers. Small group size and a quality-over-quantity ethos invites you to “dive” head first into the minds, methods, and physicality of specific creators. The workshop gets you up-close and personal with significant dance works, while cultivating your artistic, technical, and creative abilities. 

“Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I Learn!”

 

Deep Dive is founded and directed by dancer/teacher Anton Valdbauer
His experience working with the choreographic greats from Mats Ek to Jiri Kylian to Ohad Naharin to Crystal Pite inspires his desire to share a professional-level understanding of methods and creative worlds.

“During the 16 years of my professional dance career I have experienced the challenge, fulfillment and joy of working with some of the most renowned choreographers in the field of contemporary dance. I feel fortunate to have learned and created alongside them. The diversity of styles, choreographic approaches and “solutions” that choreographers proposed always provided nourishment for body and soul. These makers and my colleagues demonstrated the limitlessness of creative work. So, we have developed this workshop series with a desire to share this experience. We want to offer insights into what it means to work with these choreographers.”

Planning for our inaugural weekend and beyond, Deep Dive looks to build on the premise of our workshops, evolving potential connections and sharing modalities. Other aspects of Deep Dive Dance will include workshop video-streaming for dance teachers and academics, laboratory sessions focused on the research of emerging choreographers, workshop observation opportunities for other dance and art professionals, and small public showings. Stay tuned!
