The wee dance company has given workshops in Malta (
IMSDC / Stage for Life, 2014), Russia (St. Petersburg 2009), the USA (Chicago 2008), Holland (Holland Dance Festival 2007), Zimbabwe (HIFA 2007 & 2006),
Israel (Jaffa - Berlin tours 2005 & 2006 and the Romeo & Juliet tour 2015), Cyprus (European Dance Festival 2003) and throughout Germany (Kirschau, Schwerin, Dresden, Marburg & Berlin).
The company offers workshops which either focus on one of three various aspects of movement, choreography and dance-theatre, or integrate them:
▪ movement based on contemporary dance technique, exploring the physical capabilities of the individual body;
▪ dance inspired by and originating from the theatrical situation and its aesthetic, from social forms of dance, and from gestural vocabulary;
▪ partnering, employing one or both of the two approaches to movement mentioned above.
The workshops may include technique class, company repertoire, and improvisational work with the participants, and are tailored according to their experience and technical ability.
They may be taught by any member of the company. A one-day workshop should preferably be at least three hours long with extra time for a break. Longer workshops (at least three days long)
can conclude in a showing of the results of the working progress.

...Again, the wonderful Marko gave us an hour and a half of information and experience, clearly knowing what he wants to convey and how. Again, I must mention many other experiences I have had at workshops. Often, I feel that the dancers/choreographers leading the workshop do not really deal with it sufficiently thoughtfully to convey and get as much as they can out of the students. Again, to my great delight, Marko provided us with a high quality workshop that included both an exciting physical and dance experience, as well as knowledge about movement that can be taken with to continue learning in our regular class schedule at the dance school. The students had a lot of fun and asked their teachers to continue working on the movement phrases in class.
Again, Marko's ability to be so professional and precise in his dance requirements, yet so gentle and comfortable was very impressive.
In summary:
Dear Michal, I cannot find sufficient words to thank you for your perseverance. I suspect we will have to wait many years to have another experience of such positive power. Please pass on our deepest gratitude to Marko and Danny for being who they are and for your loyalty to the profundity of human existence, uncompromising on all levels and dimensions. And miraculously, all this is accomplished with gentleness and respect. In my worldview, this is the best way for human beings to learn and receive.
