Carla González Pérez
5.5 & 7.5 - Floor work class
What to expect:
Rooted in floor work and improvisation, this workshop invites contemporary dancers to explore the raw, powerful, and often extreme expressions of their bodies. We will begin with an improvisation warm-up designed to awaken your senses, unlock your body's potential, and cultivate a state of flow. From there, we’ll dive into technical exercises across the space, emphasizing control and weight-shifting to integrate floor work skills into your movement vocabulary. Additionally, choreographed material will be introduced to discover new ways of natural movement where you can explore your own creativity.
To conclude, you will participate in a collaborative composition exercise focused on exploring dynamics, group awareness, and embodied memory, creating a shared language of movement rooted in collective energy.
This workshop is an invitation to rediscover joy in movement, embrace energetic intensity, and expand your physical and artistic horizons. Come prepared to push beyond your comfort zones and uncover new depths within your dance practice.

Isidora Markovic
12.5 & 14.5 - Improvisation class
What to expect:
This class is an invitation into an ongoing research of the body as a meeting point of memory and possibility. Through guided improvisation we will listen to our intuition, loosen the known and wander into the poetic unknown. The idea is to unlock our imagination and explore different layers that make us dance, following fantasies and inner geographies. I aim to invite multiple forms of expression and focus on space, music, dynamics and gestures as our guides. We will play, sweat and dance together.
Biography:
Isidora Markovic studied dance in Belgrade and Munich, receiving a scholarship to train at the Ballett Akademie der Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, where she graduated in 2024. She was a member of the Junior company of the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich, Nuremberg Ballet, and Hessisches Staatsballett, where she performed works by Damien Jalet, Sharon Eyal, Hofesh Shechter, Willi Dorner, Xie Xin, and William Forsythe, among others.
Since 2023, Isidora has been working as a freelance performer, journalist and choreographer while developing an improvisation method that bridges movement, visual arts, and writing.
Her choreographic works have been presented on stages and in galleries in Nuremberg, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Belgrade, and Victoria.
In 2025, Isidora is creating a new participative performance commissioned by the City of Wiesbaden and Die Internationale Maifestspiele, in collaboration with Meilyn Kennedy and Lena Kunz.
She facilitates movement and art workshops for dancers, dance enthusiasts and students.
At the heart of her practice is the belief that creation is always relational—a collective act of discovery where the outcome remains unknown, and the process itself becomes an opportunity to wonder and dream utopias.
Raimonda Gudavičiūtė
19.5 & 21.5 - Contemporary class
What to expect:
The training consists of exercises on the floor and dynamic sequences that extend into the room thanks to the lightness of the movements. Important elements are the pronounced use of the spine and the centre of the body, the potential of gravity, timing, impulses and quick changes of movement and space. This class is an offer for professional dancers who are interested in a training in which phrase material is used, but which is articulated individually.
