Workshop by Jordina Millà, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Improvisation Through the Compositional Mind
A musical mindset helps us understand the world within us. Through concepts such as the nature of tempo, the rhythm of gesture and body, and the role of a compositional mind, we can enrich our practice of improvisation in relation to dance and music. Revisiting tools from tradition allows us to expand our vocabulary and refine the way we approach creation.
The Catalan, Austria-based pianist, composer, and improviser Jordina Millà explores free improvised music and contemporary musical language. With a deep classical background, her music is in constant development, moving toward other logics of expression. She has released several acclaimed albums, including Males Herbes (solo album), When Forests Dream (two pianos with Agustí Fernández), String Fables (duo with Barry Guy), and Live in Munich (ECM Records). She is the founder of PRISMA, an initiative that aims to make the discipline of improvisation more visible in the city of Salzburg.
Workshop by Mackenzy Bergile, 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM
Writing Dance: Movement as Revelation
The core idea of this workshop is simple: the moment the body moves, it tells a story. Dance is not about executing steps—it is about revealing truth, translating feeling. This program is not designed to produce “beautiful choreographies” but to question what the body says about the world, about itself, about others.
By merging dance with philosophy, sociology, and movement sciences, this workshop seeks to understand how every gesture engages in dialogue with space and time. It is not just about dancing—it is about opening a conversation between the body and its environment, making dance a language in its own right.
This year, for the first time, Flavourama Performatory moves into the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, transforming the museum into a vibrant stage. Selected dancers from the street and club scene will engage in spontaneous performances throughout the museum, creating a dynamic dialogue between movement, music, and the exhibited art.
As the audience embarks on a guided tour through the exhibition, they will encounter unexpected pop-up performances, experiencing dance and visual art in a new, immersive way. The museum becomes a performative playground—where styles merge, boundaries dissolve, and artistic exchange unfolds in real time.
A co-event of Flavourama and Museum der Moderne Salzburg.
The Capsule is proud to partner with Flavourama for their “Voices” evening, an interactive event celebrating discussion and exchange within the dance community. Hosted by Luke Lentes, The Capsule Podcast’s host, the night will feature debate games, open discussions, and audience participation, creating a dynamic space for dancers and creatives to share perspectives, challenge ideas, and engage in meaningful dialogue. This collaboration continues The Capsule’s mission to amplify voices within the street dance scene while fostering deeper connections through conversation.
To round off the first festival day, we invite everyone to come together at Jetlag for some great tunes from Club Analog and a laid-back atmosphere to connect and exchange. See you there!
For the fifth time, Flavourama is hosting a 1 vs. 1 All-Styles Battle for the young generation of dancers.
Kids (8–13 years) and Teens (14–18 years) will have the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of renowned, international judges.
This event is free of charge, and we warmly invite everyone to come and cheer for the next generation of dance talent!
For participants: Please register online in advance to secure your spot and avoid long queues on the day of the event.
Dancers who want to qualify for the Flavourama Finals on Saturday can do so by joining the Preselection on Friday evening in the categories House (1 vs. 1) and Hip Hop (2 vs. 2).
This is your chance to showcase your skills in front of a panel of renowned judges. At the end of the Preselection, the top 16 dancers (House) or Top 14 teams (Hip Hop) will be selected to move on to the final battles happening the next day.
After the Preselection, the night is far from over – join us for a jam! From 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM, the dance floor is open for freestyle sessions, good vibes, and pure energy. Let’s dance, vibe, and celebrate together!
As the highlight of the festival, the Flavourama Finals bring together everything the community has shared and celebrated throughout the week.
On this exciting evening, world-class dancers who have made it through the Preselection will face off in Hip Hop and House Dance battles. Set to the finest music, with live showcases and jams, SZENE Salzburg transforms into a dynamic dance floor where dancers and visitors come together to celebrate music and movement in their purest forms.
What happens when 1000 visitors can finally stretch their legs to pumping beats after having watched the battles go down? You’re right – a collective energy release that makes the dance floor burn! At Jazzit club, visitors and dancers bring to life what Flavourama stands for: an exchange through music and dance. At the legendary Afterparty, only the best tunes are provided by international DJs. No matter if you are a professional or amateur – no shirt will stay dry here. So come by and see for yourself!
The battles are over, you’ve danced the night through at the Afterparty, but you’re not ready to say goodbye to Flavourama just yet? No worries, we’ve got you covered!
At 220 Grad Rupertinum, one of Salzburg’s most beautiful cafés, the Flavourama Music Brunch brings the 4-day festival to a close. Come by to hang out at this cultural hotspot and have a cup of freshly brewed coffee (pssst…we swear it’s the best you can get in Salzburg) and reminisce about the festival week, while vibing to the finest sounds of live DJs.
Great sounds, your friends, delicious food & coffee – all you need to round up your Flavourama experience.
