Teaching, workshops and master classes

Teaching is a central part of Kasper Ravnhøj’s artistic practice. His workshops and masterclasses combine physical theatre, contemporary dance, improvisation, partner work, contact improvisation and elements of theater, creating an immersive environment where movement is explored as a tool for performance, collaboration and composition.

His teaching a fixed movement technique, his works come often from physical tasks, images and thematic investigations that generate authentic movement. The emphasis is on curiosity, risk-taking, adaptability and creative problem-solving. Participants are encouraged to challenge their physical habits, develop trust, and discover new ways of moving, responding and performing.

His teaching is open to dancers, actors, circus artists, performers and movers from diverse backgrounds. While professional experience is valuable, the most important prerequisite is an openness to experimentation and a willingness to fully engage in the process.

For more than three decades, Kasper Ravnhøj has taught internationally, working with everyone from emerging artists to established professionals. His pedagogical practice reflects the same interdisciplinary approach that defines his choreographic work, integrating physical theatre, stunt practice, martial arts, improvisation and contemporary performance.

He has taught at leading Danish institutions including the Academy of Performing Arts,  and the Royal Danish Opera Academy. He has also been invited to teach and lead masterclasses at The Royal Danish Theatre, The Danish National School of Performing Arts, Dansehallerne, Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School and numerous independent training programmes and professional organisations.

Internationally, Ravnhøj has taught at Bard College (USA), the Iceland University of the Arts,  Korea National University of Arts, Korean National Sport University, Dansstationen Malmö and at many many  festivals, universities and professional training programmes across Europe, Russia, Asia the Middle East and North America
