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 relationship to music in their own material and reflection on choices made.

In Drama, students build on previously acquired performative skills to jointly create a theatrical group creation. In this way, they expand, deepen and further hone their skills. Starting from improvisational guidelines, a (film) scenario, a text fragment or a theme that emerges from the group, the students enter into a collective creative process. Within this collaboration, the community is central, while at the same time each student is encouraged to contribute their own theatrical voice and imagination. During the lessons, the students, together with their peers, investigate and refine various aspects of performativity: body language, emotional expression, use of voice, text treatment and theatrical composition.

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.
