about
CREATIVE WRITING
During September and/or October, you will focus on expressive writing and literary creation in many different forms. You will receive every week a thematic package, containing:
PERFORMING & CHOREOGRAPHING TEXTS AND WORDS
In November and/or December you will perform and choreograph your texts in the space. You will work both in dance studio and public spaces in Budapest and/or Paris. You will share your texts, research, compose, and create text-based performances as soloists, with partners, or in group. You will investigate the use of dialogue, texts, words to influence and enhance performance, whether it is dance or physical theatre, and also explore the connection between language and body, text and movement. You will discover choreographers and visual artists using narrative texts, speech, prose, drama, poetry, or introducing abstract words, voice into their works. So as to stimulate different parts of the brain and the body, you will move back and forth between choreographing, performing, writing, and reading.
PUBLIC READINGS & PERFORMANCES
We will make public readings, collectively choreographed lecture performances in public spaces in Budapest and/or Paris.
PUBLISHING
Following the program, if you give us permission, your texts will be published online.
