EVERGREEN TEACH

3/4/5/6 January 2027

- Scenario Pubblico - Catania

REGISTRATIONS OPEN

- GENERAL INFORMATION -

What is it?

EVERGREEN TEACH is an intensive programme for teachers and choreographers, dedicated to creation, choreographic composition and the transmission of the creative process.

The programme includes 22 hours of practical and theoretical work over four days, hosted at Scenario Pubblico, a leading centre for dance. Tickets to the performances included in the //evergreen 2027 programme are also included in the participation fee.

At the heart of the programme is the creative process, understood as a space for investigation, experimentation and the development of a personal artistic language. Practice, reflection and exchange become essential tools for artistic and professional growth.

Who is it for?

The programme is open to teachers and choreographers of all ages who are interested in deepening and renewing their working tools.

At a time when everything seems to be moving increasingly fast, EVERGREEN TEACH creates space for personal research, reflection and professional development.

- HOW TO TAKE PART -

What does the programme include?

Through practical workshops, theoretical sessions and opportunities for discussion and exchange, participants will explore different compositional tools for choreographic creation: from improvisation to the structuring of movement, from the relationship between body, space and music to the development of a personal working methodology.

The programme will support each participant in developing their own choreographic research, which may take shape in a final shared presentation.

Is there a selection process?

No. We want EVERGREEN TEACH to be an open space for exchange, where every participant can bring their own experience and artistic background.

The artistic direction reserves the right to close registrations early once the maximum number of participants has been reached, in order to ensure the best possible conditions for study and exchange.

EVERGREEN TEACH combines practice, analysis and discussion through research sessions, observation, shared feedback and debate, with the aim of developing a critical, conscious and open perspective on the contemporary dance scene. An immersive, collaborative and multidisciplinary experience designed to provide new tools for research and teaching.
