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.

The next Dancing Dialogue will take place on Friday March 20th at 19:00.
Admission is free, but reservation is required HERE.
The Dancing Dialogues are livestreamed, so you can join the conversations remotely or watch them again later HERE.
More Dancing Dialogues will follow soon.

Friday March 20 | Teaching contemporary dance technique
“Contemporary dance” is not a codified technique in the way several other dance techniques are, which makes it a relatively open field with many singular interpretations and diverse sources. How do teachers view the relationship between technique and artistic practice, or between technique and its pedagogy? What is the role of technique in dance education today, and what role does technique play in the professional field?
Guest speakers: David Hernandez, Salva Sanchis, Rakesh Sukesh, Laura Aris
Interviewer: Júlia Rúbies Subirós
