Teaching, workshops and master classes

Teaching is an important part of Kasper Ravnhøj’s work and he is an influential factor in the spread of dance, physical theatre and the movement language underlying his choreographies. Attending a workshop or a master class with Kasper Ravnhøj include elements of improvisation/acting, Tanztheater, contemporary dance and contact improvisation with an emphasis on flow, flexibility and partner work.

Since he is working with themes and specific physical tasks as motivation for the movement, rather than formalized technique, participation does not necessarily require any dance experience but more importantly: a willingness to take risks and literally throw oneself into the mix.

Facts: For more than 10 years Kasper Ravnhøj has taught his style and methods to people ranging from amateurs to professional dancers, actors, performers, directors and choreographers.

He is to be found among the faculty of established Danish institutions like the Academy of Performing Arts, the Acting School at Aarhus Theatre and the Royal Danish Opera Academy.
