DÉPARTS - Investing in a new dance generation


1. May 2006. - 30. April 2009.

The DÉPARTS network aims to contribute to the development of contemporary dance in Europe. Seven organisations from five countries participate in the three-year co-operational program, lead by the illustrious Brussels dance studio P.A.R.T.S., often associated with one of its world famous founders the choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
The Hungarian partner of the network is Trafó - House of Contemporary Arts.

DÉPARTS supports contemporary dance in three ways:

1. Advanced training programs bridging education to professional practices (D#1)

2. Democratic access to the advanced training projects (D#2)

3. Support for young choreographers (D#3)
