Session Description

PCDCP / Judith Sánchez Ruíz Company Winter 2026 The Professional Contemporary Dance Certification Program is dedicated to equipping artists who have completed study programs at the diploma and B.A. level or sufficient dance intensive practice of at least 5 years. It is designed for passionate artists with an interest in continuing their professional path to become performers and educators of the highest quality in the contemporary performance field. This opportunity gives participants the rare experience of intimate training with a world renowned choreographer, performer and teacher whose 30 years of international experience champions a non-western perspective. The program will function as a practical space dedicated to the preservation and sharing of research systems, by promoting discussion, archiving and the transmission of these practices and knowledge to future generations among its dancers and educators with an emphasis on a creation with Judith Sánchez Ruíz. These trainings aim to awaken individuals’ innate movement potential from a functional standpoint, laying the groundwork for an artistic platform where movement possibilities are continuously refined for original compositions. Through a transformative methodology, participants explore new avenues in mind, body, and spirit, fostering a desire to contribute meaningfully to performance and pedagogy. This season also features the return of JSR Company’s repertory work “COMO LAS OLAS“. The work conceptually focuses on time and loops as a dramaturgical narrative. This piece explores our perceptions of gender and sexuality within both technical and creative contexts. Set choreography and improvisational structures challenge the creative process. This visionary project boldly empowers each participant to contribute their concerns, backgrounds, and insights. Together, we transform these individual voices into a powerful collective expression, a moving story, and an unforgettable experience that will leave an indelible mark on our community. Join a dynamic community that champions embodied research, creative freedom, and fearless performance!
