Class in Session, a performance workshop series conceived by Adam Linder as part of his 2026 residency, will take place in Callie’s Movement Studio from March to June 2026.

During his residency, Linder invites a group of peers to lead free workshops, transforming his residency into a sustained teaching platform. The series creates opportunities for fellow leaders in the field of performance while offering free training to the local community. The teachers come from a diverse range of performance backgrounds. They include Melanie Jame Wolf, Jen Rosenblit, Corey Scott Gilbert, Enad Marouf, Justin F Kennedy, and Adam Linder himself.

Free to attend, the workshops create space for shared learning and exchange at a critical moment for independent performance in Berlin. With Class in Session, Adam extends his practice into mentorship, curation, and dramaturgical support, reflecting a sustained commitment to the field of performance art.

Inaugurating the series, Linder teaches the first block titled Virtuosity is a Virtue, meeting on March 3rd, 10th, and 17th from 10am - 12pm. In this class, participants work with unrestricted improvisation, guided scores, and building written material to exercise the crosspoints between somatic, street, and codified dance languages. Participants must be available for all classes in the block. Sign-up for the first block is available here.

Adam Linder’s practice relies on carefully crafted dance vocabularies to probe how choreography relates desire, cultural values, historical forms, and bodies of the future. His solos and ensemble works, either for the stage or the exhibition space have been presented in exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney (2023), Museum of Modern Art MoMA, New York (2020), South London Gallery (2018), Kunsthalle Basel (2017), Schinkel Pavilion, Berlin (2016), and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2015).
