Sunday, 25 July, 09:00–13:00, Arsenal Studio 1 (Arsenal Objekt 19, 1030 Vienna)

From September 6 onwards Kunsthumaniora Brussels starts with a one-year emerging contemporary dance program. Partnering up with important players in the contemporary dance field such as P.A.R.T.S. (Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker), David Hernandez, Tic Tac Arts Centre (David Zambrano), AP Royal Conservatory Antwerp, Ultima Vez (Wim Vandekeybus) and Bérengère Bodin (les ballets C de la B), Kunsthumaniora Brussel is establishing an intense and unique one-year dance program.

PROGRAM
The program offers a year of full time dance training by the Belgian based staff of Kunsthumaniora Brussels and international guest teachers/choreographers. With daily courses such as contemporary dance, improvisation, composition, placement, yoga, practical anatomy, ballet, modern dance, singing and audiovisual training, your physical condition will be prepared to audition for bachelor programs in dance throughout Europe. Training will build towards a peek of 30 to 40 hours of dance a week combined with personal studies and work.

Included in the program are three 4-week choreographic labs, through which you will get the opportunity to perform in three different creations (Bérengère Bodin, David Hernandez & Ivan Schauvliege). Through self-reflection, coaching and work field orientation we will prepare you for auditions for projects and companies, admission tests for higher education in dance and networking on your further path.
Through extra muros activities we will regularly visit dance performances, lectures and try-outs in the city of Brussels to broaden your knowledge as an artist and connect with the artistic scene.

We are looking for eager young dancers who can’t wait to dive into this exciting new program and are pursuing a career in contemporary dance as a dancer, performer, choreographer, dance teacher or therapist. Applicants can come from different backgrounds, but a solid base in contemporary dance technique and a broad interest in the contemporary arts scene are important requirements.

Research workshop for professional dancers
towards future collaboration / relation with & by Mirte Bogaert
Saturday 31 July, Sunday1 August, 12:00-15:00, Arsenal • Studio 3
If you are interested please send an email to mirte.bogaert@gmail.com by Thursday 29 July .

Workshop REtransLATE
For the next creation REtransLATE, Mirte Bogaert is looking forward to get in touch with professional dancers at ImPulsTanz to have 2 workshop sessions together of 3 hours on 31 July & 1 August at Arsenal. In these workshop sessions we are going to research some of the current questions related to the creation of the piece.

REtransLATE is a performance about translation and (mis)interpretation. Translating in this project takes point of departure in the aspects of communication beyond the meaning in the words: the audible and rhythmical, the breath, the intonation, the movement of the gaze and the relation to the moving body. During the pre-project, a dance material in 5 variations was developed. This movement material, as well as texts - that will be developed together- are the base to be interpreted and translated by the artists involved in the creation.

For this creation Stephan Meidell is the sounddesigner/musician, Randiane Sandboe is the lightdesigner, now Mirte Bogaert is looking forward getting in touch with dancers to research movement material during the workshop sessions as well as possibly getting in touch with dancers to collaborate with for the creation.

Creation process starts in the spring of 2022, with premiere in October 2022 during Oktoberdans at BIT Teatergarasjen, Bergen, Norway.

Mirte Bogaert is looking for professional dancers that are eligible to work in Europe. Dancers that are interested in the project and open to collaborate with artists from different disciplines, as well as having a strong base in contemporary techniques and improvisation, can send an email with a short text where you describe which languages you speak, what the relation of language and dance means to you as well as what motivates you to take part in these workshop sessions. Send as well a cv and a link to a video of you dancing to mirte.bogaert@gmail.com. Please take contact if you have questions or concerns.
