NEW program Research Studios - first pilot program February - June 2015

In 2015, PARTS starts a new Research Studios program, destined towards choreographers who have obtained a Master’s degree and/or have some years of professional experience. Participants are interested to devote time to research and develop their choreographic language in an environment where reflection and studio experimentation, exchange and collaboration with other artists are the basic working formats. 

In 2015-2016, two separate pilot projects for this new program will take place: a first one between February and June 2015, and a second one between August 2015 and November 2016. Both pilot projects deal with the relation between dance and music, and the first pilot project will take the choreographic work of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker as its starting point.

Beginner's mind - a documentary

During the exchange project in Senegal in January and February 2013, the students also participated in the 'Scéno Urbaines' residency project that took place in Dakar. They did an improvised performance based on an idea by Benjamin Vandewalle, who also made a documentary film of the event. You can watch it on this page.

Performing Arts Training 2013-2016

In September 2013 onwards P.A.R.T.S. will re-organize its program structure.
In 1995 the school operated according to a program schedule of three years. In 2000 we changed into a four years program: two years of ‘Training’ and two years of ‘Research’.
From now on we will gradually move towards two totally independent formats. The Training program will consist of three years. The Research program will remain two years.
The one is called ‘Performing Arts Training’, the other ‘Research Studios’. Both names are still working titles. 
The Training group will consist of 50 students, the Research group of 12 students.
The first Training-new-style will start in September 2013. The first Research-new-style will follow in 2015.

Here we describe in short what new students can expect from the new Training cycle, now called ‘Performing Arts Training’. Details of the programme will be communicated by January 2013.

 If you are interested in studying in PARTS and you want to be updated on all our plans for the new program, please write an email to Eva Vanhole, our responsible for student affairs: eva@parts.be.

Auditions for the new Training cycle will be organized between January and April 2013.
