Workshop: Creating immersive performances

5-day-workshop for dance and theater professionals

Part of the Werkstätten Junger Tanz 2025 – a format by Offensive Tanz für junges Publikum

The workshop aims to provide practical knowledge on creating performances for children with diverse developmental profiles, rooted in Dalija Acin Thelander's extensive artistic and academic research. Participants will engage in an intense creative process based on the core principles of Dalija's practice, while fostering dialogue, exchange, critical thinking, and experimentation. This workshop encourages practitioners to rethink formats and methods in the field, inspiring and empowering them to create artistic experiences that honor the unique nature of this audience. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain valuable knowledge and practical experience for creating immersive performances, which they can apply in future projects—whether for funding applications, collaborations, or further professional development. Participants will also be provided with additional reading materials to deepen their understanding and continue exploring the concepts introduced.

Total duration: 5 days, 7 hours per day
