VIENNA INTENSIVE
28 - 31 MAY 2026

In May 2026, ANIMA FABRIK becomes part of the international Graham100 celebration.

We host a four-day intensive dedicated to the legacy of Martha Graham —one of the most influential figures in modern dance.

In collaboration with Graham for Europe


WHY GRAHAM?

Because it’s one of the roots of everything we call modern dance today.

Graham technique teaches you how to move from the core, how to create shapes using breath, how to connect emotion and body — not as decoration, but as structure. It’s strong, grounded, expressive — it makes you feel real in your body

WORKSHOPS

Daily Graham Technique classes for different levels — from beginners to more experienced dancers.

If you’ve never tried Graham before, this is a rare chance to learn it from its roots. And if you already have experience, you’ll deepen your understanding with teachers directly connected to the Graham tradition.

The intensive is led by artists from the Martha Graham Dance Company in NYC: Kim Jones, Marzia Memoli, Penny Diamantopoulou

CREATION & PERFORMANCE

Create · Rehearse · Perform

You will step into the experience of performing — during this four days, you will also be part of a creative process. Together, we will develop a short piece that will be shared at the end of the intensive. Invite your friends, your family, people you love. Share this moment. It will be one of those experiences you remember for a long time.

The full program and booking are managed by Graham for Europe
