Workshop Jose Bakera "Integrated Dance Theatre Practice" je ztělesněný workshop, který propojuje taneční techniku, improvizaci, herectví a kompozici s cílem rozvíjet výrazné a pohybově přesné tanečníky a performery. Účastníci se zapojí do fyzického tréninku zaměřeného na přítomnost, muzikálnost a dynamický rozsah, zároveň budou zkoumat improvizační nástroje prohlubující schopnost reagovat, představivost a vědomé rozhodování. Herecké postupy podporují emoční jasnost, záměr a narativní uvědomění a vytvářejí most mezi pohybem a významem. Prostřednictvím vedených kompozičních úkolů budou tanečníci experimentovat se strukturou, časem, prostorem a spoluprací a učit se, jak formovat surový materiál do performativní podoby. Workshop zve účastníky k integraci těla, hlasu a tvůrčí autonomie a podporuje holistický přístup k tanečně-divadelní praxi, který je zároveň důsledný i hravý.
