Dance Improvisation / dance-theater.

The dancers are given the task to improvise and compose a dance piece 20' long using the space around them. There are no strict rules or pre-written scores and they don't know the music in advance. Every decision is made spontaneously in the moment. Therefore, what you will witness is unique: it will only happen tonight and cannot be replicated.
