The Deep Dive Experience
The 5-Day Deep Dive is structured as a condensed creative process, following the path Emanuel Gat usually takes when developing new work. Participants will experience his choreographic process in real time, moving organically from generating initial material, to discovering how choreographic structures emerge, and exploring the ways these elements come together into a full choreographic work.
We’ll use tasks and directives to recreate repertoire from the company—not by learning fixed choreography, but by reworking it under the same set of rules. Participants will experiment with how the same material can be applied in radically different ways, developing flexibility, expanding their options, and gaining greater confidence in their movement. Along the way, they’ll analyze choreographic situations, sharpen decision-making, and broaden their capacity to interact and collaborate with others.
This approach allows dancers to gain a deeper understanding of how the practice of Decentralized Choreography functions, the potentials it holds, and how these can be applied to enrich their own creative process, refine their choices, move with greater clarity, and become better dancers.
The workshop will be facilitated by Michael Loehr, who for the past 17 years has been a close collaborator of Emanuel Gat, working as performer, co-creator, choreographic assistant, stager, and workshop facilitator.
