Double nominee for the Ikar Prize for Performance, gold medalist at the Serbian Solo Competition, with over 50 stage projects (from Sweden to the USA and everything in between), the second teacher at the Academy of Dance and Performance wants to train students in releasing excessive tension. Dance imagery, experimenting with different movement qualities and a lot of hard work. Тhe workshop offers basic body training that addresses anatomical functions in a context that promotes personal expression and full psycho-physical functioning as an integral part of total body mobilization.

Between theory and practice, between vertical and horizontal, between mine and your attitude to personal expression, we will also concentrate on what it is like to be in a group, to what extent we insist on identifying or differentiating. Тhe workshop facilitates the understanding of diversity,
