CPPM is welcoming its next guest artist, Jeremy Nedd, for the workshop Reimagining Marginalised Movement Languages, taking place 3–8 November 2025 at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn.

Based in Basel, Switzerland, and originally from the United States, Jeremy Nedd is an internationally acclaimed choreographer, dancer, and sound designer celebrated for his innovative approach to dance and cultural expression. His practice bridges the precision of classical ballet and contemporary technique with the dynamic energy of urban and social movement forms. Nedd’s artistry has earned him prestigious recognitions, including the New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award and the Swiss Performing Arts Award (2023), confirming his status as one of today’s most visionary and boundary-defying dance artists.

In this week-long intensive, CPPM students will explore how dance can serve as a form of cultural memory and collective storytelling. Drawing on Nedd’s collaborations with Impilo Mapantsula, Trajal Harrell, and a wide network of international artists, participants will be invited to engage the body as an archive, reclaiming movement languages often overlooked within contemporary performance contexts. The workshop blends physical precision, improvisation, rhythm, and sound design, offering participants an embodied encounter with the political, poetic, and spiritual dimensions of dance.

The workshop culminates in an Open Class on Saturday, 8 November at 19:00 in the EMTA Black Box, where audiences are warmly invited to witness the outcomes of this powerful exchange. Through its ongoing international guest artist programme, CPPM continues to champion artistic innovation, professional development, and cross-cultural collaboration within the field of contemporary physical performance making.
