Kolossus Kids

With Kolossus Kids, Stephanie Lake's creative team will develop a piece based on choreographic structures and images from Lake's successful ballet Colossus. This work, which focuses on the interplay of large groups, will premiere at the Semperoper in November as part of the mixed bill Wings and Feathers.

In addition to students of the Palucca University of Dance Dresden, the project will also give young dancers from the Heinrich Schütz Conservatory and PUCK e.V. the opportunity to experience Stephanie Lake’s integrative work process. The choreographer, who is based in Australia, sees it as a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to not only take part in this artistic project themselves, but above all to meet other young people they would otherwise never encounter in their everyday lives. The creative project is intended to become a major platform open to all. This is dance that moves both body and mind, whether you are a participant or an audience member!

The piece, which the youngsters aged between twelve and 16 will develop together with the artistic team, will be presented at several performances in Semper Zwei. Classes interested in dance can contact Semperoper Aktiv! about workshops on both versions of Colossus entitled YOUth Moves.
