Program Director
This one-week educational program focuses on Marco Goecke’s unique and deeply emotional movement language and creative process. Guided by teaching artists Anne Jung, Fabio Palombo and Giovanni Di Palma, participants will study Goecke’s repertoire, familiarizing themselves with the complex rhythms, sudden changes of speed and unexpected movements that the German choreographer favours.
