HOT BODIES is a programme organised by ICC (Imaginative Choreographic Center) that supports, stimulates, and nurtures new generations of artists in the field of choreography and dance. This 4th edition of the programme takes place in Burgas, Veliko Tarnovo and Sofia, Bulgaria. It provides a context for newcomers to the field of choreography and dance, allowing them to explore their artistic interests from the perspective of current freelance dynamics.

The programme is formed and dreamed as space for co-sharing and co-imagining the freelance dynamics in the field of choreography and dance and it's directed towards newcomers in the field. The 3 weeks programme starts with a series of co-sharing lectures, leading into studio work in the company of international artists from the field. The wrap up days include public presentations of the process in three different cities in Bulgaria and are accompanied by formats of feedback and after-performance dialogues.

The working language for HOT BODIES #4 will be English.
