How do you capture a fleeting moment – and make it unforgettable? In the Leica Academy Workshop, Raphael Mittendorfer, photographer and longtime visual companion of Flavourama, introduces participants to the world of dance photography. He shares his experience of how to read movement, anticipate it, and capture it at just the right moment.
With dancers on site as models, it doesn’t stay theoretical – participants put their newly gained knowledge straight into practice and get the chance to try out their skills during the Preselection.

Flavourama Voices is included in the ticket price.
Flavourama Academy is a new educational platform for learning, professional development and artistic exchange – led by Farah Deen and Olivia Mitterhuemer, co-founders of Potpourri Dance and co-artistic directors of Flavourama.
Since 2006, they have been shaping the dance scene: as dancers, choreographers and curators who have brought street and club dance into a wide variety of spaces and contexts – and built one of Europe’s leading Hip Hop and House Dance festivals along the way.
In this two-hour workshop, Farah and Olivia share their knowledge and experience around one central question: What does it take to build a dance event and run it sustainably? An honest look at twenty years of festival work – from idea to execution, from community-building to the realities of running a cultural organisation.
The performance LOOP is a new choreographic work by Olivia Mitterhuemer – co-artistic director of Flavourama – performed by Farah Deen and three further international dancers.
LOOP moves between precision, synchrony, and freedom. Movement circulates in a continuous flow: formations emerge, lines shift, structures dissolve and reassemble — a loop that sustains transformation.
Rooted in House Dance, the choreography is both musically sensitive and rhythmically precise, while remaining fluid and open. Inspired by digital filters that stretch time and shift perspective, LOOP unfolds as a layered visual landscape in which patterns intensify and dissolve. A choreography that breathes and flows.
A co-production by Potpourri Dance and Toihaus Theater Salzburg.
Funded by the City of Salzburg, the State of Salzburg, and the Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport. Supported by Salzburg Verkehr.
