OFF Pro Dance Hub is a healthy and constructive environment dedicated to research, creation and performance in contemporary dance. 

Highly qualified teachers, guest choreagraphers and international companies, guide dancers toward performance, enhancing and strengthening their artistic and technical skills 

Komoco will offer 7 workshops with its KC teachers during the 2025/26 program.

KC Workshop aims to offer a sense of totality in a physical and sensorial way through the exploration and therefore the discovery of new possibilities with our bodies. In KOMOCO research, this practice takes the name of Kreaturistic Character (KC) as we connect to the creature that we are - that we just forgot about - which consequently brings more awareness to our unique artistic individuality to be expressed in endless ways, from the highest volume of form to the most delicate, through a series of games and guided improvisation tasks. The laboratory ends with the sharing and learning of sections from KC choreographic repertoire.

A unique experience awaits young people in the COLOURS Youth Project 2025: they can take part in a creative workshop led by Komoco collaborator Adriano Popolo. Together with the experienced dance teacher Carmen Scarano - an integral part of the THEATERHAUS+ productions - the young people create a five-minute choreography that is the result of an intensive creative process. Trust, cooperation and the integration of cultural diversity take centre stage. Young people not only learn new dance techniques, but also experience how the international dance world is characterised by cultural encounters - a valuable experience that they carry into their own lives.

The intensive training will be taught by a different member of KOMOCO every day. Further information on the instructors will follow shortly.

This KC workshop will be held by Komoco artistic director Sofia Nappi and KC co-funders and first collaborators Paolo Piancastelli and Adriano Popolo Rubbio. Participants are the intermediate-to-advanced NYU and visiting dance students.

This dance program is based on strong technical training, achieved by concentrating on the healthy and efficient use of the body to realize each person’s physical potential, and the development of the imaginative and creative elements of each individual. To this end, the instruction from Tisch’s permanent faculty of master teachers is integrated with that of major guest artists and company members.

This KC workshop will be held by Komoco dancer and KCTL member Glenda Gheller. It is dedicated to professional dancers and performers, offering an immersive experience both physically and sensorily. KOMOCO's research is called Kreaturistic Character (KC), connecting participants with their inner creature to discover infinite artistic possibilities.
