Roza Moshtaghi
Contemporary Workshop

Start the year with three days of training at Dansk Danseteater facilitated by Roza Moshtaghi, an Iranian artist who lives and works in Oslo. Her creations often are situated within the performing arts field as a choreographer/dancer and performer.

The workshop will departure from her works that deal with the unexplained narratives of desire generated in the process of adapting or reacting to systems/structures. The ordinary, or rather what we have forced inside the uniform of the ordinary, is Roza’s playground. She looks for possibilities to hypothesize “the hidden” by digging into the ordinary as a silent landscape. 
Roza’s choreographies and scenographic elements are often characterized as representations of abstract almost sculptural forms of movement that resemble both ordinary but obscure sceneries.

Her work is often performed in public space and combined with sculptures that are activated through movement performance and/or action. The choreography follows by plethoric change of sceneries but with minimalist movements, this enhances a slow tension building with sudden narrative dismantling. Moshtaghi’s choreography deconstructs everyday life movements through overexaggerated yet abstract gestures that produce discomfort and fail to adapt to human normative patterns.

These classes are in close collaboration with Danish Dance Theatre and we are happy to be able to offer the classes in the DDT’s studio.

These classes are held at the Opera:
Ekvipagemestervej 10, 1438 Copenhagen K. You will arrive to the stage entrance, big grey sliding door and enter the reception. We kindly ask you to meet latest 15 minutes before the class, so that it is time to find your way to the studio and show your QR code on the ticket.
