VISIT TO MONTR\u00c9AL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIn March, students in their final year of study in the Professional Training Program visited \u00c9cole de danse contemporaine de Montr\u00e9al (EDCM).<\/p>\n
“Each day we took morning class with the third year students at EDCM, and sat in on their rehearsals” recalls Micaela Janse van Rensburg. “We presented a showing of our work from Brandy Leary’s ‘Simplicity (sketch 4)’. After our scheduled time at EDCM, we spent the rest of our afternoons exploring the city. Some highlights included watching Compagnie Marie Chouinard rehearse ‘The Rite of Spring’, and a visit to the Fonderie Darling art gallery. We had a great time bonding as a class and getting a taste of the Montr\u00e9al arts scene!”<\/p>\n
\u200bThe third year class funded their visit through the Fall Film Festival, which took place in October 2023 and featured dance films created by the students of Dance Arts Institute.<\/p>\n

“The Summer Intensive was an incredible experience that I’m grateful for. It was certainly very challenging, but the spirit of dancing collectively kept us pushing past the challenges. It was not just restricted to training but we got the chance to investigate our own niche in movement in the creative process sessions. Overall, it gave me confidence and a sense of readiness to return to my dance education.”<\/p>\n

“I had a wonderful time at the Dance Arts Institute. I loved how the staff and teachers treated me like I was a young professional and not just a student. I had loads of freedom during creative process and never felt judged because of my artistic choices. I learned so much from the teachers and the other students.”\u200b
