B>Curious

A transitional dance and laboratory exploration program for emerging artists

B>Curious is a four-day intensive program designed for recent dance graduates or vocational students seeking to expand their creative practice.
Following the structure of B>Landing, this program introduces participants to the B>Lab Methodology, creating a supportive environment where experimentation, collaboration, and risk-taking are encouraged.

Through guided sessions and collective tasks, participants engage in movement research while exploring frameworks of cultural management and project design. The experience helps emerging artists develop creative autonomy, group awareness, and tools for cross-disciplinary collaboration.
