PREVIOUS PARTS@WORK SHOWINGS (ACADEMIC YEAR 2023-24)
PARTS@WORK#4, SUNDAY MAY 12, 2024 - 15h & 18h15 - SOLO SHOWINGS
In October 2023, the 39 second year BA Training students were given the assignment to create a solo.
They have been working on this for the past months, resulting in internal showings for faculty members, teachers, tutors, mentors and staff.
Twelve solo's will be performed to the public during PARTS@WORK.
The solo project aims at creating time and space to different stages of an artistic process: articulating artistic interests and an initial concept, developing & experimenting with working methods, planning research time, planning rehearsals, sharing & receiving feedback, reflecting & integrating feedback, composing and structuring the piece, making decisions on the format of the presentation of the solo, etc.
The project gives as much importance to the process as to the final result.
Once a month, from October 2023 until April 2024, the students met in small groups with an assigned mentor, sharing their process and giving feedback to each other.
This generation's mentors are Diane Madden, Christine De Smedt, Femke Gyselinck, Manon Santkin.

PARTS@WORK#3, Thursday February 8 - Friday February 9 2024:
Showing of the results of the 5-week theatre workshops followed by the 39 BA Training students.
Under the guidance of Kuno Bakker, Jolente De Keersmaeker & Sarah Haeck, Mokhallad Rasem, Janneke Remmers & Nele Vereecken.
Four groups of students worked with six different theatre makers to create a performance based on the "Ancient Greeks.
What do the classical tragedies, the ancient mythical stories tell us today about violence, about the image of women, about heroism, about faith, about our relationship with nature?
Work was done around such figures as Medea, Cassandra, Tiresias, Poseidon and with texts by Euripides, Kae Tempest, Dennis Kelly and the students themselves, among others.
The result reflects four collective quests, with original, personal, moving and often humorous perspectives.
PROGRAM
Each evening you will see 2 groups.

PARTS@WORK#2: TUE-WED-THUR 12-13-14 DECEMBER, 2023 - 20h
Showing of Trisha Brown’s Set and Reset/Reset, re-created and interpreted by the 40 Training students.
INTRO
During a four-week intensive workshop, the students of the 2nd year Bachelor Training program worked with Diane Madden, Kathleen Fisher and Samuel Wentz on ‘Set and Reset/Reset', based on a choreography of Trisha Brown that premièred in 1983 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (New York) which went on to transform dance history.
Training Tutor and teacher Diane Madden was part of the original cast in 1983.
In the TBDC repertory workshop, the dancers learn original movement sequences from Set and Reset and improvise with the material, guided by the same compositional rules devised by Brown and the dancers. Working closely with one another and informed by skills practiced in technique courses, the dancers shape ensemble improvisations into choreography, generating a unique Set and Reset/Reset. Here, as with Brown’s Company, the dancers are an integral part of both the creative process and the end result.
“The seductively fluid quality of the movement in this Trisha Brown masterpiece, juxtaposed with the unpredictable geometric style has become the hallmark of Ms. Brown’s work. Performed to a driving score by Laurie Anderson, the exploration of visibility and invisibility is reflected in the translucent costumes and set by Robert Rauschenberg”(© Trisha Brown Dance Company)
PROGRAM
Each evening you will see four different versions of Set and Reset/Reset, from 4 casts of 6-7 students per version. In order to see all the students at work, you can combine any two of the evenings.
