Dutch Society for Dance Research (NL)
The Dutch Society for Dance Research (VDO: Vereniging voor Dans Onderzoek) was established in 1990 to stimulate Dutch research, pure as well as applied, in the field of dance. It was an initiative of several individuals (dance lovers and researchers) who wanted to create a forum for dance research in The Netherlands. The Society has a broad definition of dance research. It is not linked to any specific academic discipline and includes historical and sociological research as well as research done in theatre studies, movement sciences, and cultural studies that has ‘dance’ as its main subject. Both academic and applied research projects are of interest to the VDO. More information on www.dansonderzoek.nl
ArtEZ School of Music – Music & Health (NL)
ArtEZ School of Music is one of the largest schools of music in the Netherlands, with more than 900 students and 250 lecturers across the three locations in Arnhem, Enschede and Zwolle. ArtEZ has responded to developments in the field in a way that few other schools of music have. This is reflected in the offer of new study programmes such as MediaMusic, Music Therapy, Music Theatre and the Academy of Pop Music. Also the more traditional programmes such as Classical Music, Jazz & Pop and Music in Education anticipate changes by implementing innovations in their curriculum. This has resulted in a broad choice of programmes for students, innovative guest lecturers, multidisciplinary projects and a wide range of genres and styles. The Music & Health Education program consists of a variety of educational activities on health topics concerning Body, Mind and Communication. Goal is to achieve awareness and basic health skills for students and their teachers. The office Health & Music organizes introduction days, workshops, assessments and other health activities. There is a electronic learning environment with information and a data bank with addresses of the external health network. More information on www.artez.nl

Codarts Rotterdam, Professorship Performing Arts Medicine (NL)
Performing artists go to extremes to achieve the maximum. Physically, dancers, musicians, and circus artists are tested by the many hours of training. On top of this, the mental pressure is high. They need to perform on the highest level on a daily basis under the watchful eye of a critical audience. Therefore, dropout as a result of injuries and mental injuries is an ever-present risk. On 1 September 2014, Codarts created the Performing Arts Medicine professorship and appointed Janine Stubbe, PhD as professor Performing Arts Medicine. She conducts applied research on the physical and mental load on dancers, musicians, and circus artists. www.codarts.nl
