Tickets: 7,50 euro

'Danstips' is a series of five high-profile discussions about dance moderated by Samuel Wuersten, the artistic director of Holland Dance. In this series, he will discuss a number of dance performances and elaborate on a few dance styles featured in Lucent Danstheater’s 2010-2011 season. The dancers and choreographers will be spotlighted in these discussions, with special attention for their motives, ideals, and plans for the future.

In the last Danstip of the season, you will be introduced to a few ambitious dancers from the Rotterdam Dance Academy. What does a dancer’s day look like? What kind of background should someone have to become a dancer? In short, a talk about the hopes and dreams of students at the leading academy for contemporary dance.

Find out how the dancers are not only coached physically, but how also mental aspects play a part in their multi-facetted education. In addition to interviews and discussions with the artists, passages from the academy’s eclectic repertoire will be presented. Danstip is an initiative by the Lucent Danstheater and Holland Dance in partnership with Codarts/ the Rotterdam Dance Academy.

The Danstips will be held on the stage of the Lucent Danstheater, or in one of the studios. Dutch as well as English will be spoken.

This is a golden opportunity for dance lovers to dive into the dance programming of the Lucent Danstheater, and to delve deeper into the lives of dancers and choreographers.
