20 years of P.A.R.T.S.

12 NOV — 14 NOV 2015

On the 4th of September 1995, P.A.R.T.S. opened its doors to a first generation of dance students. Over the years, more than 400 dancers and choreographers have studied at P.A.R.T.S.

Ten generations of students – from every corner of the world – have finished the entire trajectory: initially three years, later on four years, and five years from the present 11th generation onwards.

We have asked three generations of graduated students to put together an evening. Each generation is free to determine the contents of the programme: existing or new work, re-enactments of old P.A.R.T.S.-formats or improvisations, impromptu, live or through projected images. A bridge between what was and what is. Or something else altogether.

Generations Nine (who studied from 2008 till 2012), Six (2002-2006) and One (1995-1998) have received a carte blanche. Each evening is coordinated by an artist duo from the generation in question.
