performance / dance 12 November - 14 November 2015 NL Het is exact 20 jaar geleden dat PARTS zijn deuren opende. Dat wordt dit seizoen uit-gebreid gevierd. In de zomer van 1994 beslisten choreografe Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker en Bernard Foccroulle, toenmalig directeur van De Munt, om een nieuwe school voor hedendaagse dans op te richten. Nauwelijks een jaar later was de opening een feit, met een eerste generatie van 30 dansers en choreografen uit verschillende continenten. Tien generaties studenten – uit alle windstreken en continenten – hebben gestudeerd aan PARTS: dat zijn meer dan 400 dansers en choreografen. Zeer velen onder hen zijn een succesvolle carrière als danser en choreograaf begonnen, in België en daarbuiten. De rijkdom hiervan kan je zien aan de 13 producties in het ‘PARTS20’-programma in het Kaaitheater dit seizoen, of op de pas gelanceerde website www.parts20.be, die een lijst bevat met honderden voorstellingen van en met voormalige studenten dit seizoen, in België en daarbuiten. Voor de 3 avonden in de Beursschouwburg ontwikkelde PARTS een bijzonder project. Eerder dan de onmogelijke verantwoordelijkheid te moeten nemen om zelf een ‘best-of’ van de school of het werk van de ex-studenten samen te stellen, wilde PARTS een stem geven aan drie generaties oud-studenten, met de opdracht om onder elkaar en op korte termijn een avond samen te stellen. Generatie IX, Generatie I en Generatie VI kregen carte blanche, en trommelden zo veel mogelijk mensen uit hun groep op: sommige zijn bekende gezichten in de Brusselse scène, anderen werken al jaren in het buitenland of begonnen ondertussen een andere carriere... Elke avond wordt gecoördineerd door een kunstenaarsduo uit de betreffende generatie, maar de ontwikkeling van de avond gebeurde zo veel mogelijk collectief. Het resultaat zijn zeer uiteenlopende programma’s, met bestaand en nieuw werk, re-enactments van oude PARTS formats of improvisaties op het moment zelf, live of via geprojecteerd beeld,video-installaties, workshops, muziek en feest. Een brug tussen wat toen was en nu is. Of iets anders … FR Le 4 septembre 1995, P.A.R.T.S. ouvrait ses portes à une première generation d’étudiants danseurs. Depuis, environ 400 danseurs et chorégraphes y ont étudié. 10 générations d’étudiants, issus de tous les horizons et de tous les continents, y ont suivi un trajet complet: d’abord de trois ans, ensuite de quatre, avant que la 11e generation ne passe cette année à cinq. Nous avons demandé à trois générations de diplômés de mettre une soirée sur pied. Chaque génération déterminera le contenu du programme à sa guise: oeuvres existantes ou nouvelles, anciens formats de l’école remis au goût du jour ou improvisation totale sur le pouce, live ou projetée en différé. Objectif: faire le lien entre le passé et le présent. À moins qu’il en décide encore autrement! Nous donnons véritablement carte blanche aux générations Neuf (2008-2012), Six (20022006) et Une (1995-1998). Chaque soirée sera coordonnée par un duo d’artistes issus de la generation concernée.
EN On the 4th of September 1995, P.A.R.T.S. opened its doors to a first generation of dance students. Over the years, more than 400 dancers and choreographers have studied at P.A.R.T.S. Ten generations of students – from every corner of the world – have finished the entire trajectory: initially three years, later on four years, and five years from the present 11th generation onwards. We have asked three generations of graduated students to put together an evening. Each generation is free to determine the contents of the programme: existing or new work, re-enactments of old P.A.R.T.S.-formats or improvisations, impromptu, live or through projected images. A bridge between what was and what is. Or something else altogether. Generations Nine (who studied from 2008 till 2012), Six (2002-2006) and One (1995-1998) have received a carte blanche. Each evening is coordinated by an artist duo from the generation in question.
Deze voorstelling vindt plaats in het kader van het project ‘[DNA] Departures and Arrivals’, gecofinancierd door het Creative Europe programma van de Europese Commissie. PARTS werd opgericht door Rosas en De Munt. De school wordt gesubsidieerd door het Ministerie van Onderwijs van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap en krijgt aanvullende steun via het project [DNA]. [DNA] wordt gecofinancierd door de Europese Commissie (Creative Europe). PARTS en HES-SO/Manufacture (Lausanne, CH) zijn partnerinstellingen voor de hogere opleiding in hedendaagse dans 2013-2017.

20 years - 2 days - 1 performance Performance The ex-students of the first generation of PARTS have chosen to keep things simple. After not seeing each other for almost 20 years, they have gone in the studio for 2 days (yesterday and today), and are tonight showing a performance. They have offered each other excerpts of their own existing work, as well as new proposals/ideas, as a way to re-meet each other. Everybody in the group has the opportunity of not just witnessing what their colleagues have been doing the last 20 years, but also to perform it live. Just as 20 years ago, they become each other’s subjects of work, each other’s performing accomplices. The result belongs to no one in particular and to all at the same time, just as anyone’s history does.
