Education and training
Info
The National Center for Dance continues the Performing art school for children. The programme is aimed for children aged 6 to 14 and includes creative classes and repertoire in contemporary dance, theatre and movement. In addition to developing creativity, expressivity, technique and body language specific to contemporary dance, the Performing school for children stimulates artistic creation by working on choreographic moments to be staged by the end of the programme.
Launched by the National Centre for Dance Bucharest in March 2018, the Performing art school for children is the first local training and artistic education programme in contemporary dance and performing arts. The Performative School runs throughout the school year and integrates courses in contemporary dance, creation and improvisation, as well as other workshops and artistic education activities for children.
“Taking on a children’s art education program involves a ritual of directing attention to the body on a regular basis. The assumption has a double meaning: parents and children on the one hand and teachers on the other. The multi-component programme is not intended to produce specialists in one discipline, but to develop the ability to convey multiple types of information and artistic body training.
The school of performance provides the framework to generate an individual type of acuity of observation and use of bodily resources, the development of pleasure in using the intuitive baggage with which all children are endowed, the activation of the child’s bodily and visual imagination in structuring an artistic discourse of their own, but also a complex bodily training that relates to other artistic fields and current cultural expressions.
What distinguishes dance from sport is the ability/capacity to create artistic communicative meanings, in which mind and thought are one with the body; the cultivation of bodily skills serves a type of performance that has the vocation of communicating ideas.
Dance as a form of knowledge, of adaptation to the context, to the world”.
