We wanted to combine dancing and writing, but this topic was so broad that we needed to narrow it down to writing fairy tales. For Attila, writing was important and the main art form he wanted to deal with. He studied journalism and has already published a fairy tale book.

We regularly made up fairy tales for each other. When we were far apart, we wrote together during our calls and read them aloud to each other.

With these memories, we wanted to create a workshop on this topic right from the beginning of our dance career together. During the research phase, we buried ourselves in the psychology of fairy tales and their hidden symbolic meanings. There are several great fairy tales out there, and there is always at least one that fits your current problems.

We started the workshop with a meditation where we traveled to a distant forest. We relaxed, took time to arrive, and started our creative process.

We wrote opening situations which we picked randomly, and started our dance journey with them. These stories started in a magical forest as well.

First, there were solo dances based on our situations, and the participants could weave one of their actual problems into their story. After everyone had danced, we wrote down the stories and feelings we experienced during the dance. Then, we read these stories to each other.

Next, the dancers formed pairs; one dancer stayed in their own story, while the other became a fairy tale helper, which could be anything: a fairy godmother, a familiar, or a wise old man.

These helpers inspired the dancers and helped them continue their stories by providing motivation and complications. These were duo dances.

We had planned a third dance part, but unfortunately, we ran out of time, so we finished writing our fairy tales instead. In the end, we got beautiful fairy tales, and it was a pleasure listening to them. Also, the stories that came out of the solo and duo dances were totally different from what we expected.
