Open Call: Pushing Boundaries with Galit Liss: Two Intensive Programmes at DanceEast

DanceEast is hosting two intensive programmes led by internationally renowned choreographer Galit Liss from August 18 to 24, 2026, in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK. The first programme, "Pushing Boundaries Experienced Movers Edition aged 50+," runs from August 18 to 21 and is designed for experienced movers aged 50 and above. This four-day intensive focuses on exploring presence through the GILA Method, encouraging participants to engage in movement research, improvisation, and embodied exploration to deepen their understanding of performance and artistic expression.

The second programme, the "Pushing Boundaries GILA Pedagogy Workshop," takes place from August 21 to 24 and is aimed at practitioners, choreographers, and dance educators. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the pedagogy behind Liss's methodology, focusing on artistic practice and teaching approaches for working with the mature body. Participants can expect to enhance their movement practice or pedagogical skills in a supportive environment. The cost for each participant ranges from £175 to £200, and applications will close once the programmes are fully booked.
