Laura Bachman, who has been dancing Fase, Four Movement to the Music of Steve Reich (1982) since 2017, will lead a workshop based on this Rosas dance.
Participants will be introduced to the basic movement material and the choreographic principles that inform this iconic work, including phase shifting, the main strategy around which Fase was constructed.

Laura Bachman (France, 1994) graduated from the Paris Opera ballet school in 2011. That same year, she joined the Paris Opera Ballet as a full time member. During this time, she danced in classical ballets, neoclassical works, and contemporary pieces by Pina Bausch and Wayne McGregor. In 2016, she spent a few months in Los Angeles, as part of the LA Dance Project, and subsequently moved to Brussels, in order to become a full time member of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s company, Rosas. In 2020, she became a freelance artist. Since then, she works for several choreographers and companies, including Boris Charmatz, Alexander Vantournhout and the Tanztheater Wuppertal, and develops her own work. After directing a short dance film « Chimera » in 2021 (selections in SFDFF, InShadow Lisbon, and LISDF), she created her first evening-length piece, « Ne me touchez pas » (2023). It is currently on tour in France and Belgium. Through choreography she was able to connect with several artists and disciplines, and created for cinema, music and opera (for Wes Anderson, Manele Labidi, Cédric Klapisch, Jain or Rone…).
