Student Open Sharing
The students of the Nunes / FLOCK Creation Program
led by Juliano Nunes, Alice Klock and Florian Lochner
At the end of the Nunes/Flock Creation Program, the students will present a work in progress following their intensive with Juliano Nunes, Alice Klock, and Florian Lochner. In this intensive, Juliano Nunes concentrates on the creative process, diving into pushing the boundaries of fusing classical ballet and contemporary dance. A new creation will emerge, serving as a path for dancers to discover their capabilities, focusing on rhythm, partnering, and group work. Flock dancer/choreographer duo Alice Klock and Florian Lochner focus on trust, communication, and the possibilities unlocked through equal partnership. Flock uses their unique approach to non-binary partnering to guide each dancer into new ways of understanding contact and their own physicality within the context of connection. Each participating artist is not asked to fit into a mold, but rather to fully express and explore their personal artistry and craft.
