Through exploration, feedback, and creation, participants will develop their unique movement language while strengthening confidence, creativity, and self-expression.

SHOWCASE

DANCE FILM SCREENING // AKIN

The journey culminates in a final showcase on Sunday, where the dancers will present the work created during the intensive. This intimate performance offers a glimpse into their artistic process—a celebration of growth, courage, and freedom, revealing the raw beauty and magic of creation.

Between collective motion and inner overflow, one body searches for authenticity beyond choreographed routine.

AKIN examines the tension between collective synchronicity and the hidden inner reality of the individual. One protagonist describes her overwhelming feelings, while three other figures appear as aesthetic mirrors of her inner states. In a world that demands perfection and smooth functioning, everyday life continues like a mechanical system even when the inside has long overflowed. The bodies increasingly come under pressure until the structure discharges in synchronous, yet faulty movements. The encounter with an antagonist opens a moment of silent perception and raises the question of whose emotions are actually at work in the space. AKIN reveals a raw, deeply human choreography between adaptation and authentic expression.

The creative talk with Pelin offers an open and honest look into her working process, from initial ideas to stage-ready material. She will share insights into her workflow, the values that shape her artistic choices, and how she builds movement-based storytelling within a group setting.
