MONDAY the 26th of August

1O.OO – 13.OO
WORKSHOP WITH PEEPING TOM (BE)

We are proud to present this absolutely unique chance to work with one of the equilibristic and creative dancers from the Belgian dance company Peeping Tom. The dancers are admired for their original technique and the strong images they create in the hyper realistic universes of the performances, as the company’s work finds itself on the borderline between theatre and contemporary dance. In their choreographies the prevailing logic of time, space and atmosphere is questioned.
Teacher is Brandon Lagaert.

“Groundbreaking aesthetic and dance quality that takes your breath away. The globally acclaimed and distinguished troupe offers a highly intelligent work of art that goes far beyond genre boundaries.” Volksfreund (28.O4.2O19)

The workshop is targeted semiprofessional and professional dancers and is on a high level.
Max. 2O participants.

ACTIVE KNOWLEDGE – FROM FESTIVALS TO FAIRS
Creative Value and Plans

Visiting festival directors and touring arts managers/producers engage in an openhearted conversation on issues related to artistic formats, audiences, development and survival in the marketplace. A reflection on approach, passion and policies that will leave you with insights and know how. The conversation will explore the global and local context.

Updates from the Marketplace
We explore specific international fairs and platforms. Destinations some of you know or festivals you are interested in knowing more about. We argue that relationship building, and distribution are part of the creative process, and we wish to explore how you continuously match the specific nature of your product
with the best possible setting to further development, exchange and sales.

WEDNESDAY the 28th of August

 9.3O – 16.3O
PLAYING BY THE RULES?

A conscious look at rules in immersive theatre Immersive theatre, where the audience has left the spectator seats, plays an extensive role in festival programming, and this reasonably new approach has made a big impact in producing everywhere, even in big classical institutions.

In immersive pieces many of the unwritten rules of theatre are broken. Artists need to work consciously with the creation of new rules and artistic principles, and how they are communicated to the audience.

This day we will experience and reflect on how different established artists from the Danish and international immersive scene work with own inner rules in their work, and how they communicate their principles to the audience.

Participants will work on the floor with the artists, and throughout the day they will explore games of reflection, dialogue and how simple rules can open new worlds!

This day is targeted artists, creative producers, students and everyone interested in participation.

Moderator: Jeppe Lajer/AKTØR, actor and certified facilitator from International Association of Facilitators.

The event is designed as an intense and collective experience with one sleep over at Waves Festival. It starts with two immersive shows: Tuesday night: Bodies in the Dark/Elephants Laugh and The Time Being 2.O/ Cantabile 2.
We strongly recommend everyone to take part from the beginning to the end.

Price: 55O DKK includes bus, two indoor shows, dinner, lunch, accommodation and breakfast.

NEW FORMATS
Festivals in performing arts – networking & development

In creating a festival, or other recurring cultural events, it is necessary to work on a clear branding and signal value of the event. It is a huge organizational work which benefits from building on top of previous good results and successes. But how to keep reinventing an event without losing a clear identity and disappoint expectations? How to keep thinking out of the box that you have put yourself in, and to question the do’s and don’ts – and still maintain good relations with funding bodies?

This day we will ask key persons, from well-known festivals with clear trademarks, how they inspire themselves, which are the new formats they are most proud of, and their take on stumbling stones for innovation.

Moderator: Maj-Britt Mathiesen, producer & curator at The Danish National School for Performing Arts Further Education.

New Formats will be rich in networking and feedback sessions, where the participants reflect on own events and make use of the knowledge and experience present in the room, and it will feature reflections on festival values in bathing suits or bathrobes! (or preferred alternatives).

New Formats is targeted festival directors and other professionals involved in festival planning and creation.
Venue: STARS, Algade 84, Vordingborg

Price: 55O DKK including lunch, dinner, street theatre programme and evening shows Hallo/Martin Zimmermann and The Time Being 2.O/Cantabile 2.

WORKSHOP WITH CHRISTIAN CASANOVA/MURMUYO

We are proud to present this absolutely unique chance to work with a true giant of street performance. Christian Casanova, with his character Murmuyo, is a hilarious and fearless performer with spotless timing. He is a brilliant mime, but he is much more than that. His alert improvisation makes his interaction with the audience filled with presence and the feeling that everything can happen – and most likely will!

The workshop will focus on awareness of body and space, stimulus and response in unexpected situations, clown and improvisation etc. You will benefit just as well if you don’t work in the street.

The workshop is targeted semiprofessional and professional mimes, clowns, dancers, physical actors, actors, etc. and is on a high level.
