Getting started with dance

For students of the Teaching Assistant and Pedagogical Worker programs, we offer practice-oriented projects accompanying our performances. Such a project typically consists of three parts. We start with an introduction, during which we discuss what dance and theater can mean for their pupils. Afterwards, the students watch a dance performance. The project concludes with a workshop, during which we discuss the performance together. We also provide the students with tips on how they can further explore the themes from the performance with their pupils. We are also happy to help brainstorm follow-up assignments for the students.

Dance for entry-level courses

For entry-level programs, we put together a tailor-made project. In consultation, we look at the wishes and possibilities of your students. The basis of a project is always a performance and/or a dance workshop. After a performance, the dancers engage in a discussion with the students about the theme of the performance. Think of themes such as: social media, drug use, and polarization. In dance workshops, students experience how movement and dance emerge from a story, an emotion, or a theme.

To collaborate

We are looking for MBO (vocational) programs that want to develop dance learning pathways with us. In such a pathway, various elements of cultural education come together: watching dance, reflecting on dance, and creating a dance oneself. We envision the following setup. Students choose a performance from our selection and watch it. Subsequently, they work on their own version of this performance for approximately ten weeks. In doing so, they choose their own target audience, theme, music, costumes, and set design. The students promote their own performance and present it to family, friends, and other audiences.
