CHOREO GRAPHY SESSION

TOPIC OF THE PROJECT:

CREATIVITY UNITES

The major subject of the School was the value selection between the internal own values and what affects a man from the outside, such as mass media, Internet, and common stereotypes.

How does a modern man pass through such value conflict? What contradictory values do people face? What value dilemmas do they solve? How to save global values and avoid instantaneous influences?

Participants had to reflect the struggle inside a modern man between eternal true global principles and aggressively imposed inane temptations of the modern world.

SESSION PROGRAM:

This year we will again meet within the hospitable walls of the Boris Eifman Dance Academy, where the Choreography Session of Innopraktika School will be held for the sixth time. Its goal and mission is cultural exchange.

The Program of the Session includes the lessons of classical ballet dance from the renowed Russian professors, master-classes on contemporary and modern dance from the most sought-after Russian dancers and choreographers, as well as creation and rehearsals of brand-new dance pieces. 

For three weeks of fruitful work Russian choreographers will create unique productions with foreign dancers, while foreign choreographers will work with students of the Dance Academy. In addition, the School is organizing vast cultural program. 

The rich training program will allow participants to significantly expand their performing range, acquire valuable knowledge, and most importantly to realize their ideas in perfect conditions for creativity. The fruits of the three-week session will become the basis for the content of large-scale gala concerts to be held on the stage of the Dance Academy Theatre. Join us for the Session 2026 and may the unique creative energy of St. Petersburg, whose great cultural heritage you will discover, will enrich and inspire you!
