INTENSIVE
A whole new level of
Dance Training
Are you ready to take risks, to do something you have never done before… to go beyond the box you have been dancing in?
At HUMANHOOD, we learn to access the universal language of the body while tapping into our unique expression, to stop letting the memorised shapes control our expression, open up every part that is still holding tight, either in our mind or in our body.
This career training with us goes beyond mere physicality, it’s a process where you learn to honour your body as a way to access the genius dancer within.We challenge you to transcend your formal training and step into your virtuosity, innovation and artistry.
Here is you get to be surprised by your own movement, every time you get to dance you discover something new.
Who is this for?
Our Training Intensive is created for PROFESSIONAL and VOCATIONAL DANCERS who have a passion for HUMANHOOD’s approach to movement and choreographic style and want to train directly with the company and/or are eager to pursue a career path with the company.
During a minimum of 5 hours daily, you will fully dive into the company’s movement practice and choreographic language while learning repertoire sections of the company’s acclaimed productions.
This intensive training, guided by Julia and Rudi as well as our company dancers, is your chance to train in person with our company and feel what it’s like to move like a HUMANHOOD dancer.
What You’ll Learn:
Inner Dynamics
You will be introduced to the energetic and movement practices that Julia and Rudi share with the company dancers and which are part of the company’s unique holistic ethos. They form the foundation of our company’s imopressive fluidity, groundness and power.
Beyond Improvisation
It’s not only how you move, it’s mainly about who you are while you move. You will learn to listen and receive the movement, instead of doing it.
You will also take part in the screening of We, HUMANHOOD and INFINITY – the company’s documentary and BBC dance-film.
Company Repertoire
We encourage you to fall over, to do things you have never done before, so something new can arise in your physicality. Our improvisations are designed to take you to a whole new level of awareness of your movement and embodiment.
Our Philosophy
You’ll learn our choreographic repertoire including sections from our acclaimed productions Torus, Infinite & Vortex as well as embody the intention behind the work as our dancers do when they perform on stages around the world.

“I felt I went beyond myself over and over, specially in the improvisation. I learned to listen and move from that place. It was a whole new sensation for me. I flew all the way from Brazil and everything I learned will stay with me forever. ”
