Dancing Dialogues

Dancing Dialogues is a year-long series marking P.A.R.T.S.’ 30th anniversary, spotlighting the school’s teachers and their contributions. In each conversation, teachers will be interviewed by alumni who will cover questions on pedagogy and transmission.

The Dancing Dialogues series began during the 164VANVOLXEM Festival with three sessions devoted to theory, inclusivity and repertoire transmission. Followed by a session about Teaching contemporary dance technique.

The next conversation about Body Studies will take place on Tuesday May 19 at 18:00.
You can now REGISTER HERE.

Tuesday May 19 | 18:00 | Body Studies
At P.A.R.T.S., 'body studies' is the umbrella term for physical approaches that are not dance themselves but support the dancing in different ways, a.o. through the prevention of injuries. Students at P.A.R.T.S. learn yoga, pilates, body conditioning and shiatsu. These different techniques have different backgrounds and differing views on how the body functions. Some are based on ancient Eastern techniques, others on more recent Western developments. What body images do they represent and how do they connect to dancing and to each other?
Guest speakers: Charlotte Cétaire (body conditioning teacher), Palle Dyrvall (shiatsu teacher), Tarek Halaby (Pilates and anatomy teacher)
Interviewer: Laura-Maria Poletti

The Dancing Dialogues are livestreamed, so you can also join the conversations remotely or watch them again later HERE.
