STUDIO YOUTH 2.0 by Studio Contemporary Dance Company is a special programme of creative education for young dancers based on the work on contemporary dance techniques, improvisation and creative process with the support of the pedagogues – members of Studio Contemporary Dance Company. It is imagined as an educational programme which prepares young dancers for continuation of their higher artistic education and professional artistic work.
Since the restart of the project, many members of Studio Youth continued their higher artistic education on academies in Croatia and abroad and some of them gained higher visibility in the realm of broader contemporary dance comunity and started with their own professional artistic work.
Beside being an educational programme in its basis, long term goal of the project is creating a young semi-professional company which creates performances intended for young audience. Thus, from 2024, the programme becomes an all-year round project and we enrich it with content that opens new possibilities of professional experiences for all members.
Studio Youth programme 2024 begins in January 2024 and includes:
-continuous work on contemporary dance techniques and improvisation with the members of Studio
-individual menthor work (technical and creative) with the support of the members of the company (special attention given to preparations for auditions for artistic academies)
-access to professional morning classes with the comopany once a month, all year round
-creative process with a selected young choreographer with performances in professional conditions (CM Ribnjak, Festival Malih plesnih formi-KUC Travno, with a possibility of performing on festivals aimed at atracting young audience)
-possibility of participating in a choreographic research by Ana Mrak (1-2 members)
-learning repertoire of Studio’s performances for young audience, in order to ensure substitutes for professional company with possibility of performing with the company
