MEETINGS AND CLASSES WITH GREAT CHOREOGRAPHERS: Ștefan Lupu

Two special sessions focused on contemporary dance and performative exploration bring to Sibiu three remarkable artists from diverse international backgrounds. Collet Reude and Grace Ward, dancers with Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, offer an introduction to the physical language developed within one of Israel’s leading dance companies. Ștefan Lupu—actor, choreographer, and lecturer at UNATC Bucharest—examines the relationship between movement, physical theatre, and directorial practice. These meetings create an inspiring space for exchange and learning for all those engaged with new directions in contemporary dance.
