International conference BEYOND ballet why and how
featuring the special Medicine and Science Day
From April 16 to 18 2015 the city of Arnhem will host the international conference BEYOND ballet why and how, anticipating around 300 delegates from the fields of dance education, dance and sports medicine and science, professionals
and students.
NCPA partners with ArtEZ School of Dance and co-organiser Balletakademien
Stockholm and will host a special Medicine and Science Day within conference on Saturday the 18th, 2015.
The aim of BEYOND is to stimulate discourse on dance and dance education in a broader social context by inviting experts from the world of dance, as well as external professionals to present their unique perspective. The education and the professional field partner up by sharing viewpoints and insights and take solid steps towards building the dance educators and professionals of the future.
BEYOND ballet why and how can be seen as a continued professional development conference, addressing multiple themes that impact many levels of dance. The conference format facilitates content development over three days, presenting in-depth discussions and workshops that offer the opportunity to expand knowledge. This chosen format provides delegates with the chance to return to subjects through multiple day sessions, to meet with peers in various constellations and build a network of partners.
The Medicine and Science day programme focuses on applied dance and sports science & medicine research to provide a deeper understanding of the challenges involved in the care of student and professional dancers. These special sessions will address areas of post-op rehabilitation, patient care support, human motor control, nutrition and neuroscience. Simultaneously in the regular programme will be lectures and presentations on attentional focus in ballet training, emotionally intelligent dance training and the psychology of change.
