- far° and AVDC have joined forces for a meeting of ddd – dramaturgy, dance, dialogue and invited Mona De Weerdt and Valerie Wehrens for two artistic propositions: the series of one-to-one sessions Popcorn & Dramaturgy and the workshop Wandering Dramaturgies.
- * The ddd – dramaturgy dance dialogue encounters were initiated by AVDC – Vaud Association for Contemporary Dance in 2022. They approach dramaturgy not as a scholarly discipline, but as an intuitive and multifaceted practice circulating between people, ideas, working processes and gestures.

Dance dramaturges Mona De Weerdt and Valerie Wehrens approach dramaturgical thinking as a collaborative and shared activity within choreographic creation. A collective journey that involves venturing into the unknown, getting lost and continuously tracing new pathways.
In this workshop, they invite participants to collectively share and develop dramaturgical practices: practices that sometimes lead toward clarity and at other times toward uncertainty.
Drawing on the shared research of De Weerdt and Wehrens, the workshop will offer an opportunity to exchange concrete questions and methods capable of inspiring dramaturgical work and reflection. Participants will be invited to approach dramaturgy through landscape metaphors, opening up new perspectives on dramaturgical tools and processes.
