Production Practice 3 focuses on the students artistic development through the following components: repertoire, workshops, creation, improvisation, drama and music. Production Practice includes a series of artistic courses and projects with national and international guest teachers who address the student as a dance artist and provide a series of skills and experiences relevant to enter the professional dance field.

In Repertoire, the student learns and explores movement material of an existing piece of a (guest)choreographer leading to a form of presentation. The student is introduced to the compositional ideas and working methods linked to the style and vision of the choreographer and is encouraged to explore the relationship between form and content. The student is guided to find his or her own embodied connection to and interpretation of the existing dance material. The material is taught by the choreographer or an assistant /dancer from the company.

In Creation, the student experiences a creative group process which will lead to a creation and presentation. The process is guided by a (guest) choreographer. The student explores different creative and compositional working methods linked to the style and vision of the choreographer. The student participates actively in the process of exploration and composition. 

In Workshops, the student participates in an experience with a dance artist that can take many formats that range from a 2 hour workshop or post show discussion to a week long residency or symposium. Dance artists are invited to share their personal visions for students to experience new working methodologies or artistic practices. 

In Improvisation the students will continue to work on deepening essential core principles and their integration in other areas.

In Music students deepen their rhythmic embodiment as well as explore their relationship to music in their own material and reflection on choices made.

In Drama, after a joint reading of text material, the course challenges the students to find a partner and a scene from the text and use it to develop it within a rehearsal setting in order to perform it at the end of the course. The chosen scene is to be considered as both a personal and collaboratively created artistic theatre piece cut loose from the original intent and/or storyline of the original full text and is to be a scenic application of the creative theatrical imagination that emerges from the partners’ collaboration.

Working field orientation enables students to learn about relevant organisations, subsidy procedures and networks that currently exist and situate themselves within these for their future career development.
 
Production Practice as a cluster of subjects brings students in touch with different elements of the professional dance working field with artists active in the field, providing a wide range of experiences of artistic practice, styles and methodologies. Students analyse their relationship with each different practice experienced and the resonance each has within their own development as a dance artist.
