昨年度好評に付き今年も開催！バレエ、コンテンポラリー、メンタルケア、語学まで世界レベルに通用するダンサーを少人数制で育成することに重点に置いたSummer Intensiveです。バレエ、ポアント、バリエーションの他に今はダンサーに必須とされているコンテンポラリーにもとても力をいれたプログラムとなっています。今年は３団体のコンテンポラリーカンパニーデレクターが直々にコンテンポラリーテクニッククラスそしてカンパニーレパートリークラスを指導します。そしてもう一つこのIntensiveで特徴的なのはメンタルケア、栄養学。強く健康な体と心作りはプロになる上でとても重要なことのひとつです。このワークショップでは Yoga, Meditation,栄養学を使い一人一人丁寧に指導いたします。栄養士管理による食事もこのプログラムの特徴です。日本人、カナダ人スタッフそして栄養士が常に常備した安全な環境でレッスンが行われます。

OURO Collective presents, oFuro, our youth initiative program. The name oFuro comes from traditional Japanese bath culture, where strangers become family by spending time together in a community space. We aim to bring project, oFuro to students and audiences worldwide.
oFuro performance/creation: we spend approximately one week creating a new work(s) for the community, which is then performed at a local theatre as the opening act for OURO. With oFuro, OURO will continue to work towards our goals: to build youth & community engagement, to provide an opportunity for aspiring dancers to connect with professional dancers, and to bring together various dance communities and the general public under one roof. The project will give the dancers experience amalgamating contemporary and street dance styles thus widening opportunities in their careers.
