About Relational Choreography
In this masterclass, DIK Danstheater (The Netherlands) will introduce participants to the Relational Choreography method, developed by Jordy Dik over the past five years and applied globally. Along with choreographer Loura van Krimpen and musical collaborators Vincent Dankelman and Oene van Geel, Jordy will guide participants through this inclusive approach to dance.
Relational Choreography centres on the principle of call and response, allowing individuals to dance from authentic, instinctive impulses. The method fosters both personal creative awakening and collective power, focusing on interconnections between performers and encouraging participants to spontaneously respond to each other.
This approach makes dance accessible to all, even those who are less familiar with it or who find memorisation challenging. Rather than focusing on preset movements, you will explore improvisation and relational meaning, bridging movement and theatrical expression for a deeply engaging experience. Throughout this masterclass, you will collaborate intensely with fellow participants to create a performance that reflects your journey together.
