Contemporary Xmas: Movie Fantasy
The Contemporary Xmas: Movie Fantasy is not a production of the Karlín Musical Theatre. It is organized by the Contemporary z.s.
Contemporary - Space for Dance is a renowned dance studio for children and adults in Náměstí Míru. It has been educating children in its studio dance program for 23 years. Its focus on contemporary dance is presented at competitions by the Contemporary Community component, which last year brought many 1st places from the national championships and cups. The Street section boasts Elements Community, who represented the Czech Republic and the studio at the World Championships in Portugal in October. Since this year, the space also has a new training program - Community Elite, a group that trains young dancers and choreographers. Under the guidance of experienced teachers and choreographers, they combine their experience and fuse contemporary and street dance with other styles. Here they improve their dancing skills, pedagogical basics, rehearse choreography for events, theatres, as well as video dance.
In addition to regular classes, the studio organizes dance workshops and camps for students with Czech and international teachers. It also takes care of individual personal growth and cultural cultivation of young dancers. The space also provides rehearsal and choreography facilities for Czech dance companies.
The quality of instruction is backed by a teaching team that is carefully mentored by studio founder MgA. Vendula Poznarová, director of the children's department Mgr. Eva Šleisová and artistic director of Community Elite Svatava Kobzová. The obvious criteria for the lecturers are methodological skills, preferably after graduating in dance pedagogy at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts, active dance professionalism and joy of working with children. Every year the teachers prepare two performances with them. Since last year they have been performed on the boards of the Karlín Theatre.
