In the choreographic laboratory – a space for creative exploration – “Dance for People” choreographer Ceren Oran explores and reveals the various stages of the creative process. With passion and expertise, she shares valuable tools and personal insights that guide participants step by step on their creative journey – from that initial spark of inspiration to the magical moment of the premiere.
Together, the workshop participants delve deep into the world of dance production, scrutinise processes and discover new perspectives: What is the significance of targeted rehearsal preparation? How important is casting for a creative process? And how can emotions and ideas be transformed into expressive choreographic images through improvisation and creative tasks? When becomes the famous principle of ‘kill your darlings’ an inspiring artistic strategy?
Ceren Oran – dancer, choreographer and artistic director of the Munich-based company Ceren Oran & Moving Borders – stands for a clear vision: contemporary dance, as both an art form and a practice, belongs to everyone and should be accessible to all! Through innovative performances in public spaces, projects for young audiences and a variety of formats, she creates experiences that move and connect people. Her goal: to make art accessible, break down barriers and reach an audience as diverse as dance itself.
In 2025, Ceren Oran was honored with the prestigious German Theater Prize DER FAUST in the category of Direction of Children’s and Youth Theater for her dance piece “Gute Wut.” She also received the City of Munich’s Förderpreis Tanz in 2022.
