Motion Lab day 1

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

Saturday, May 10 kicks off with a Gaga class led by Guy Shomroni 11:15–12:30, followed by a workshop with Kenzo Kusuda (12:30–14:30). Whether you want to warm up or immerse yourself in Kenzo’s surreal and poetic world, this is a beautiful way to begin the day. The evening continues with the Open Your Mind Festival 15:00–22:00, where Kenzo will also be one of the judges. Come for the classes, stay for the battle!

Sunday, May 11 is dedicated to deepening your movement practice, with a full day guided by international guest artists. Start with Tom Weksler (Spain) 11:00–13:00, followed by Seungwoo Park (South Korea) 13:30–16:00, whose session includes a lecture and a screening of his short film. The day closes with the Toolbox Jam Session 16:00–17:00, led by Alesya Dobysh, where you’ll have the chance to integrate and play with everything you’ve discovered. This is a space to blur the lines between forms – contemporary and hip-hop, dance and music, physical and visual – and develop your unique artistic voice.
