Contents
Six choreographers will be given the unique opportunity of exploring their own style and of experimenting with various choreographic aspects under the personal coaching of chorographer and pedagogue Carolyn Carlson and to work with professional dancers.
Artistic Director
After 7 years in New York, where Carolyn Carlson was Alwin Nikolaïs’ much preferred dancer, Carolyn Carlson moved to Paris in the Seventies at the invitation of Rolf Liebermann who founded the GRTOP group for her at the Paris Opera. Developing a gestural technique and poetics based on improvisation and composition, she sparked off a revolution in France with choreographies that have become a myth. Since then, she has endeavoured to pass on this style by teaching hundred of French and European dancers in the workshops and choreographies she has created. Since 1994, Carolyn Carlson has directed the Atelier de Paris where she creates choreographies for large productions as well as for solos for herself or for leading dancers of our time.

Theme: Motions and Emotions
Improvisation as a starting point for a choreographic work. A spontaneous intuitive approach to thematic material based on a circular stream of consciousness rather than linear rationalization; improvisation as a tool to enhance form and content through the processes of immediacy and first actions; what strikes instinct and heart versus the intellectual approach to an idea.
"This SiWiC will be a discovery for choreographic research of what entails a work in depth through intuition and awareness of an act in time and space." Carolyn Carlson
