RIZOMA Residencу is the perfect place to create your own contemporary dance works, especially for young artists. Because it’s in this kind of place, where everything necessary is provided – things like a rehearsal room, a theatrical stage with technical equipment, comfortable living conditions – it’s a place where you can focus on your own creative process and be totally engaged in it, as they say, 24/7, and not to be distracted by the things you have to deal with all the time when you’re living at home.

RIZOMA marks the first residency of my piece for the Artil Project. I perceived RIZOMA as a very good start for a creation process, as you work in an isolated environment. Surrounded by nature, the residency place eases creative struggles and prevents distraction. These circumstances allow you to focus completely on the work with the dancers, musicians and set designers who are also on-site. I appreciate the close working environment that RIZOMA creates and the creativity that comes out of such a process.

Rizoma is very atmospheric and well equipped. It helps people to release their tensions and inhibitions and let go into the residential experience, which has learning about and experiencing the transformatory power of Dance Movement Therapy at the heart of it. It has a large garden where it is possible to do morning movement practice, and evening relaxation with live music and singing around a fire-pit at night. A great place to teach and to learn, and the food and accommodation are excellent too.

Artil 2019

Artil is an international contemporary dance project for young choreographers that combines an art incubator and a mini-festival.

7 choreographers from Ukraine, Austria and Poland were developing ideas of their own performances in the nourishing atmosphere of mentoring and experiment. The ready-made performances were presented in Kyiv, Odessa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Vienna and Linz.

The art of circus – the art of dance

The collaboration project of three children's schools: Totem Dance School, RIZOMA Kids and Start Point Dance Studio from Kyiv, Berdychiv and Rivne. The focus of the study was the interaction of two directions of the performing arts – contemporary circus and dance.

73 young artists changed their approach to training for 20 days: dance students were developing their acrobatics skills, and circus students were polishing their choreography to create a joint performance “And the morning came.”

A workshop for choreographers led by Jesse Zaritt, American Dance Festival

From July 27 to August 2, 2019, Jesse Zaritt taught contemporary dance composition and techniques to 20 choreographers from different cities of Ukraine.

The main question of the workshop was how can solo dancing practices use the experience of dealing with others and become a way of building complex associative relationships with the world instead of leaving the artists alone with themselves.
