Věra Ondrašíková & collective: Summer workshop: choreography & electronic music production

New creative workshop led by choreographer Věra Ondrašíková, dramaturge Hana Strejčková, and musician Jan Hanák (Sonority) brings together dance choreography and electronic music. The program will be divided into two groups—dance and music—which will collaborate on the creation of a new choreography and its musical score.

The dance section will focus on working with one’s own body and the principles of choreography creation—from initial ideas and the search for personal expression through experimentation and sharing to a joint performance. 

The music section will be dedicated to creating electronic music that emerges in dialogue with movement and choreography. 

The workshop is intended for anyone interested in contemporary dance, physical theater, or new circus, as well as those who want to create electronic music and explore new ways of connecting sound and movement. 

The sessions will take place from August 10 to 12, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM each day. Capacity is limited to 9 participants in the dance group and 5 in the music group.
