We are proud to announce that P.A.R.T.S. graduates Yuika Hashimoto and Laura Maria Poletti will be opening the Brussels series of "Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich" on the 8th of November.
On 1 September 2020, Theo Van Rompay (1954), co-founder of P.A.R.T.S., will step down as Deputy Director of the school. His succession is already assured, since a year earlier, in September 2019, the new 'Studios' programme will start, for which a coordinator had to be appointed. Charlotte Vandevyver (1982) will implement this new 'Studios' programme from 1 May 2019 onwards. On 1 September 2020 she will take up her position as the new deputy director of P.A.R.T.S., to lead the school together with director Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
On Sunday, 11 November, P.A.R.T.S. organises its annual Open House. This is a great opportunity to get to know our school, students, teachers and staff members. During the Open House everyone is free to drop in and take a look at our ballet classes, contemporary dance classes and the study of repertoire pieces by, among others, Rosas and Trisha Brown.
P.A.R.T.S. opens its doors to the young aspiring dancers and choreographers who are considering participating in the auditions for the “Training Cycle” of 2019-2022. The Open Fridays will serve as a chance to take a look at our school and gain insight into the daily work at P.A.R.T.S.
In Paris, Lafayette Anticipations opened its doors, a new interdisciplinary venue in a particular architectural setting renovated and redesigned by Rem Koolhaas. Its first festival dedicated to movement and performance this week is linked to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and PARTS: on the opening night, Yuika Hashimoto performed De Keersmaeker’s Violin Phase, and later in the week former PARTS students Andros Zins-Browne, Eleanor Bauer and Radouan Mriziga present their work there.
This year, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is the central artist of the Festival d’Automne in Paris. As part of the festival, the Centre National de la Danse organises La Fabrique Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker on October 6 and 7.
42 PARTS students will join Rosas for the Slow Walk in Paris on September 23. Between 12h and 16h, five different groups cruise the city center in an extremely slow pace, finally arriving together at Place de la République, where Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker invites everyone to join her workshop and dance until 17h.
On October 3 we will organise our first PARTS@WORK of this school year. The students will present short solos that could be seen as their personal artistic identity card. It is the follow-up to the ‘45 solos’ project that was presented in PARTS and Brass during the Kunstenfestivaldesarts 2017.
South African choreographer Dada Masilo, who studied at PARTS 2004-2006, has been appointed as Next Generation Laureate of the Prins Claus Fund, which honours an outstanding creative initiative that contributes positively to the lives and possibilities of young people.
In 2017-18, 12 young choreographers and makers participated in the one-year Research Studios programme in PARTS, constructed around the theme ‘movement x sound x word’. Next to workshops and seminars on new connections between choreography, poetry, sound and music, the participants set up their own research projects, alone or in collaboration with each other or external dancers and musicians.
