The programme
ChoreoComp is an intensive six-day course for choreographers and composers who are interested in (speed) creating movement and music with live musicians and dancers. Choreographers and composers who apply should be able to make fast decisions, improvise, work together/communicate clearly with the musicians and dancers, and be practical when it comes to producing strategies.
After receiving an artistic assignment in the morning, the three composers and choreographers will pair up every two days to work out a concept. KC Composers will work independently on these concepts, or together with their KC musicians, in the music studios in Amare while the guest choreographers work with KC dancers in the dance studios. At the end of the first day a recording is made, of the sketches so far, by the composer so that the dancers can already start working with sound. The second day composers/musicians and choreographers finish their work and rehearsals take place for the presentation in the evening. Every second day there is a performance of three new pieces!
ChoreoComp ‘25 will be coached by Jan van de Putte (Composer & Main subject teacher Composition) and Jan Linkens (Choreographer & Head Dance Department).
