Motion Lab 2

MOTION LAB is Netherlands based annual event curated by Alesya Dobysh with the focus on developing improvisation skills in dancing and deepening artistic research. During a two-day program, you will experience both physical and theoretical workshops led by international guest teachers from diverse artistic backgrounds.

A two day program

On Saturday, the workshop will be led by Kenzo Kusuda, who will also judge the Open Your Mind Battle immediately afterward. Whether you want to warm up before the event or simply explore Kenzo’s surreal and incredible world, join the class on Saturday and stay for the Open Your Mind program afterward.

On Sunday, the program will feature 8 hours of movement practice guided by international guest artists. At the end of the day, a jam session with a DJ, where we will experiment with your newly acquired skills alongside other artists. Participants will explore the boundaries between genres and disciplines – contemporary dance and street/club dance styles, music and movement, visual and physical – and develop their own artistic language.
