Course content

Complementary Training 3 offers courses that support the development of the dance artist. The lessons may include, amongst others, condition training, yoga, inclusive dance practice, body mind centering and acrobatics provided by specialists in their field and new inputs will be added where relevant. The courses provide a physical training that present perspectives for mind-body awareness and through a continuous engagement encourage students to find their personal connection, embodiment and understanding of each form offered. Students should embody each aspect of the programme and reflect upon its personal significance to their individual body, capacities, health, vision and needs. Students should consciously reflect upon and integrate knowledge from Complementary Training courses into the rest of their study programme and consider how these can provide a sustainable training programme in their future as a dance artist.
