The Breakfast Mix is a convivial meeting and informal discussion with the international artists of the festival. The Breakfast Mix is held at the NDA studio. Panel discussion will be facilitated by Karen Bernard, Artistic and Executive Director of NDA, and includes Lara Kramer and Ciné-Corps Director Virginie Combet.

Unfolding Time, A Creative Workshop with Lara Kramer 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

This year the breakfast will be followed by a workshop from Montreal-based artist Lara Kramer.

Working with temporality, we will give time to deceleration to allow new and old embodied knowledge and awareness to unfold, exploring a personal rigorous approach to minimalism. Underlying the creative workshop is a desire for experiential play, storytelling and sharing between us will strive to be open-ended, offering an invitation for reciprocity. 

Space is limited, so an RSVP is mandatory. Please email admin@newdancealliance.org to reserve your place for both the Breakfast Mix and workshop.

Directed by Virginie Combet, Ciné-Corps presents programs of films exploring the body and its possibilities. The selections delve into contemporary creation through challenging pieces that bring together film and dance. The artistic direction makes room for a great deal of experiments. The selections call into question dance and its role in the social and political realms. Created in 2012, it developed all over the world with partnerships for screening, exhibitions and performances. More than 500 films screened in 12 years. www.cine-corps.com
