Over the next four months, five world-class dance companies will be coming through the cyber doors of the Towards Vivenica Academy, a new online easy-to-use platform created to deliver high-quality training. Breaking through geographical barriers, each company will teach a selection of their repertoire, offering unprecedented access to their artistic process and work to dancers all around the world.

On 26 and 27 September, Sydney Dance Company will present a two-day workshop beginning with a Contemporary technique class lead by Sydney Dance Company’s Rehearsal Associate, Charmene Yap. Across both days, Company dancers Liam Green, Riley Fitzgerald and Jesse Scales will delve into the repertoire of Rafael Bonachela’s Lux Tenebris, teaching various sections of the work. Participants will have the chance to embody the athletic and dynamic movements of two different unison phrases and develop their own language based on a solo in the repertoire.
