​

The MEP program is a precious opportunity for the participants, who will have the chance to be guided and mentored by those who have been working professionally at the highest caliber in the international dance scene for over a decade with the most reputed and established companies in the world at this moment in time such as: Batsheva Dance Company, Hofesh Shechter, Netherlands Dance Theater I, The Forsythe Company, Tanztheater Wuppertal, Sidi Larbi Cherkahui, GöteborgsOperan Danskompani.

​

“The word mentor is a very old term that derives from the name of the Master of Telemachus, the son of Ulysses who had been appointed to look after him during the war in which the young man would have participated for the first time. Recognised today as a person who knows a wide range of secrets on a specific topic or activity, he therefore brings a lot of knowledge with him and it is important that he transfers it to others so that it does not get lost.

The mentor’s work is called Mentoring to define the real activity of the person rich in knowledge who transfers it to another. This activity is important and is recognised as very important.

 

The mentor takes care of instilling confidence and encouragement, helping the student to orient himself and believe in himself, becoming more aware of what he is.

 

The Mentoring exchange is an addition to the ICD program and requires a separate application.

About the ICD program:

​

The ICD Program is the only program where every week, dancers switch styles, repertory and guest artists and choreographers that come from the greatest companies in the world.

The mentors will introduce their own movement practice and research which means that you will have to adapt to the variety of different styles every week and develop different skills.

Being curious and open to new perspectives is essential in reaching the highest skillset that is needed to become a complete performer.

This entails discovering different ways to move the body and to express your own creativity and personality as an artist.

 

NOD - ICD (International Contemporary Dance) Program is considered a

"professional experience" and internship for dance students who are already trained and are on a path to becoming professionals.
