Performing Arts Research and Training Studios

Each year students learn one complete Rosas choreography, in addition to other contemporary choreographers who are addressed, such as Pina Bausch, William Forsythe and Trisha Brown.

[11][12] PARTS students regularly present their work in a wide range of theatres and art centers in Belgium and abroad (amongst others at the Kaaitheater[13] in Brussels, Vooruit[14] and CAMPO[15] in Ghent, DE Studio[16] and Monty[17] in Antwerp, STUK[18] in Leuven, De Brakke Grond[19] in Amsterdam, PACT Zollverein[20] in Essen, Plac Wolnosci/ Malta Festival in Poznań and Mimar Sinan University Bomonti Campus in Istanbul[21][22]).

[23] The statement of Silver Lion award reads as follows: “Instituted rather recently (1995), the P.A.R.T.S acquired immediate recognition throughout Europe as a center of pedagogical innovation, with a complete and intensive program of studies in which the most advanced techniques of contemporary dance dialogue with other artistic disciplines, in particular with theatre and music.

A laboratory of movement which focuses not only on the development of the dancer’s skills, but on his search for artistic identity as well.”[24][25][26][27][28] Since 1998, PARTS has received grants from the Ministry of Education of the Flemish Community of Belgium.

The school currently receives additional funding from the network [DNA] Departures and Arrivals, that is co-financed by the European Commission (Creative Europe Program).
