Our advanced training options are open to dancers, teachers and students across Germany. They focus on topics relating to dance mediation, regardless of the format, context, federal state or coordinating office.
If you’re interested in learning more about Calypso as a resource for high-quality dance mediation in schools, you can sign up for our introductory and advanced workshops.
We offer you insight into using our digital toolbox Calypso at different levels over the course of three online workshops. The objective is for you to be able to use Calypso independently and over the long term as a kit that you can deploy in your own dance mediation in schools. We recommend attending an introductory workshop before booking an advanced module.
1 – An introduction to working with Calypso
Fr, 01/10/2021 | 4.30 pm - 6 pm | Instructor: Ulrich Huhn (registration deadline 21/09)
Fr, 05/11/2021 | 4.30 pm - 6 pm | Instructor: Livia Patrizi (registration deadline 26/10)
Fr, 11/02/2022 | 4.30 pm - 6 pm | Instructor: Hanna Hegenscheidt (registration deadline 01/02)
Fr, 18/03/2022 | 4.30 pm - 6 pm | Instructor: An Boekman (registration deadline 08/03)
In this 90 minutes introductory workshop, participants learn more about the systematic creation and background of Calypso. Calypso comprises seven goals, each with versatile accompanying material that serves as a guide to the course of a project. These materials enable mediators to act according to different situations and develop their own unique project together with the pupils on site, as artistic processes rarely go exactly to plan, different classes have different needs, and the methodological approaches of individual dance mediators will also vary.
2 – Advanced work with Calypso: Defining themes
Sa, 20/11/2021 | 10 am - 2 pm | Instructors: An Boekman & Livia Patrizi (registration deadline 10/11)
This four-hour workshop gives participants a deeper insight into the structure of Calypso and allows them to use it to develop their own ideas for contemporary dance mediation in schools. To that end, this session is dedicated to the Calypso goal of ‘coming up with themes’, looking at the ‘focus areas’ involved. The workshop concentrates on the focus area of ‘Bodies and movement’ and ‘Dance and form’. These are fundamental to dance and thus of vital importance for dance mediators. Together, we look at the working principle behind these areas of focus and applying it to the participant’s own knowledge and experience. Team tasks and exercises (breakout rooms) are carried out based on the focus areas and discussed and evaluated among the whole group.
For more information, go to Calypso and look at the ‘Coming up with themes’ section.
3 – Advanced work with Calypso: Creating choreography
Sa, 30.04.2022 | 10.00-14.00 Uhr | Dozent*innen: Hanna Hegenscheidt & Ulrich Huhn (Anmeldefrist 20.04.)
This four-hour workshop is dedicated to the process of creating choreography within a school setting. To that end, this session is dedicated to the Calypso objective of ‘Creating choreography’ and the relevant material. The material on ‘Choreography in a school setting’ sets out the prerequisites for successful choreographic work in schools, which we will reflect upon and discuss together. What does choreography mean within the context of dance mediation in schools? How can we address the social system of school classes as part of the artistic process? The ‘Choreographic pathways’ structure and illustrate the process of coming up with a piece of choreography. Different possibilities for playing with the pathways are put together in small group work (breakout rooms).
For more information, go to Calypso and look at the ‘Creating choreography’ section.
