KOMOCO - Sofia Nappi workshop
KC workshop is open to professional dancers and movers from different backgrounds. KC Workshop aims to offer a sense of totality in a physical and sensorial way through the exploration and therefore the discovery of new possibilities with our bodies. In KOMOCO research, this practice takes the name of Kreaturistic Character (KC) as we connect to the creature that we are - that we just forgot about - which consequently brings more awareness to our unique artistic individuality to be expressed in endless ways, from the highest volume of form to the most delicate, through a series of games and guided improvisational tasks.
In occasion of workshops open exclusively to professional dancers, the laboratory ends with the sharing and learning of sections from KC choreographic repertoire. KOMOCO artists taught professional workshops in Germany, USA, Italy, Holland, Israel, France, Albania, Spain, Canary Islands, Kosovo, Belgium, France, Hungary, Mexico, Serbia, Canada to name some.
