WORKSHOPS & RESIDENCY
Through continuous research and challenging myself, I strive to develop a dance language that can be understood and enjoyed by all.
My aim is to facilitate freedom of expression in dance by questioning and challenging specific dynamics of movement, stimulating imagination, and creating a space where individuals of all backgrounds are welcome to delve into particular perspectives and experiences in a respectful and empowering manner.
The workshops & trainings are for everyone!
I also offer individual coaching, so feel free to contact me with any questions.
This is your space to explore and embrace your true self. I've got all the ingredients for an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome and cherished!
A Ten-Day or Five-Day Training Residency in Dance and Movement Practices
Introduction and Context
This residency training is more than just a dance workshop—it's a dynamic community space where individuals of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences can connect. Whether you're exploring movement for the first time or building on your dance practice, you'll have the opportunity to dive into improvisation, artistic expression, and collaborative choreography.
As a dance practitioner with a commitment to inclusivity, I offer this residency as a transformative experience.
As a dance practitioner with a strong commitment to inclusivity in movement, I am delighted to present a training residency available in two formats: ten days or five days. As a dance practitioner with a strong commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive space, I am delighted to present a training residency for dancers, educators, art institutions, companies, and practitioners interested in deepening their understanding of inclusive approaches to movement, somatic practice, and performance methodologies.
These residencies, led by Fanny Vandesande, an experienced dance artist specialising in inclusive and participatory practices, will focus on pioneering methods for engaging with the diversity of communities.
The residency will create a dynamic community space where the body, language, gestures, expressions, and dance act as catalysts for engagement, inspiration, and interaction. Open to all experience levels, the inclusive workshop will encompass movement, voice, imagery, instant composition, and improvisation.
The residency has several key components.
Inclusive movement practices: Make a space that everyone can enjoy, no matter their ability, background or age.
Somatic Practice: Connect body and mind by exploring awareness and senses, encouraging physical expression and well-being.
Democratic Processes: Embrace a non-hierarchical environment where everyone's voice and movement are valued.
Choreographic Exploration: Engage in collaborative choreography exercises facilitates participants to experiment with their own movement vocabularies while focusing on inclusivity and building a sense of community.
This residency is ideal for individuals, art institutions, and companies seeking to integrate inclusive dance practices and somatic approaches into their teaching, performance, or organisational work.
I invite you to join this transformative experience that seeks to empower individuals through inclusive dance practices and somatic exploration.
