The Choreography Workshop of the Compañía Nacional de Danza implies the carrying out of an exciting project for which a groupof dancers join forces with the intention of venturing into the field of choreography. The work is carried out on a voluntary basis and outside the dancers' normal working hours. A close collaboration is set in place between the authors of the works, the interpreters thereof and the remaining collaborators. Music, wardrobe, scenography, lights, everything is thought out and, in many cases, carried out personally by the dancers themselves.
The Workshop gives the opportunity for those artists who, during the rest of the year, interpret the works of other creators, to give shape to their own inspiration or to their own dreams. It also provides an opportunity to explore the different aspects involved in the organisation of a spectacle, taken as a whole. But, above all, it provides a greater understanding, on the young creators' part, of their own profession as dancers. Values such as discipline, rigour, respect and one's own capacity for work are appreciated from a different perspective, that of a choreographer. And it is then that the relationship of the latter with the dancer reveals all its meaning. In fact, many of these artists feel more attracted to the Workshop project by this very possibility of analysing their profession from a different angle rather than from a wish to commence to establish themselves as choreographers. Nevertheless, this enriching experience could well lead to the birth of new choreographers and thus constitutes a starting point for a future collaboration between some of the creators and the Compañía Nacional de Danza. In any case, they represent the future of dance and are the reservoir of talent which could supply creators of choreography in future years.
