Navy Blue
Oona Doherty
On the occasion of the guest performance at the season opening of Gessnerallee 20245/25, choreographer Oona Doherty offers the opportunity to learn movement language and material from the performance Navy Blue in a workshop. After a warm-up, the group will explore an interpretation of contemporary ballet technique with a feeling of dread in the body from Navy Blue part 1. The second part of the workshop, A Taste of Strings, focuses on improvisation exercises that develop by following emotional states and a commitment to submission.
