atd.ahk.nl
Expanded Contemporary Dance is a full time dance bachelor program (BA) at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, designed between 2017 and 2019. It is born out of the observation that dance as performing art-form is constantly being redefined by diversedance artists and dance communities and their complex histories and relationships to the present.
By reframing the notion of ‘contemporary dance’ as a process and a context, rather than a style, ECD adopts a decentered approach to dance, bodies, movement, repertory of practices and choreographic works. The program offers students with diverse backgrounds a hospitable place where they can develop their singular signature, artistic personality and their (world)views.

KASK & Conservatorium, school of arts – Gent
schoolofartsgent.be
The Drama program at KASK & Conservatorium educates students to develop a personal artistic practice in the domain of the performing arts. The program encourages students to position themselves, both artistically and discursively, in relation to contemporary developments in the performing arts, but also to experiment in a search for their own artistic forms. It aims to educate ‘dramatic artists’ (rather than players who primarily execute the director’s vision) who are both autonomous and collaborative. Students are not required to decide at the start of the program which forms of theatre or performance they want to make or which roles in the creative process they want to take up. Instead, during their training, students endeavor into different forms and functions, so that they can gradually define their own personal (often heterogeneous) practice as performer, theatre maker, actor and so on. It combines an intensive performance training in the studio with theoretical classes and an artistic coaching that should lead to the development of an autonomous artistic practice.
