With our 2024 program, we invite you to explore a variety of formats, all centered around artistic practices and collaboration within the dance and choreography field. Within Practice aims to showcase and create platforms for sharing and knowledge exchange in the continuously expanding realm of contemporary dance.
Within Practice 2024 is presented in close partnership with MDT, Dansens Hus, Stockholm University of the Arts, Weld and DC Stockholm. This year, our lineup of artists includes Cullberg, Jeanine Durning, Mette Edvardsen, Shirley Harthey Ubilla, Stina Nyberg, and Andrew Tay, who will conduct workshops and practice presentations. The festival presents morning classes during the week by Horacio Macuacua and Rebecka Berchtold and a lecture by Georg Döcker
This year, we will also bring back the ”Open space” format during our practice-sharing evening at Stockholm University of the Arts. On Wednesday, October 2nd, professionals and students will have the opportunity to propose something they want to share, whether it’s a practice, a score, a game, or a conversation. It will be an experimental self-curated event and a speculative mingle.
Join us and immerse yourself in the ”whys” and ”hows” – in the essence of dance-making!
The program features the following formats:
– Practice-sharings in the form of three double-bill evenings at MDT and Dansens Hus
– Workshops at Stockholm University of the Arts and MDT
– Open Source – Open Space: Practice sharing bonanza
– Lecture and conversations
– Open morning classes at Stockholm University of the Arts and Weld
Details for each event, including schedules and registration links, can be found on the website. All events require tickets or pre-registration, with limited capacity for workshops.
We welcome you to explore the program!
