December Dance 24
WED → SUN 04 → 15.12.24
A polyphonic look at contemporary dance
The 17th edition of December Dance is gearing up for the arrival of a horde of dancers and choreographers who will once again transform Bruges into the hotspot for contemporary dance. Big international names join Belgian makers: Emanuel Gat, Taoufiq Izeddiou, Damien Jalet, Jan Martens, Anna Franziska Jäger & Nathan Ooms ... We are signing up makers with a critical but generous view of the world and the future. In their performances, they create new world views, give a voice to forgotten groups or weigh the value of tradition against the need for change. December Dance is a white space where ideas, concerns and utopias can be shared and tested. Look forward now to work that inspires, engages, touches, moves and awakens.
Full festival program from Sept. 12, 2024.
Presented by Concertgebouw Brugge, Cape & Cultuurcentrum Brugge.
Generation XIII
Every year, 1,000 young dancers from around the world audition for P.A.R.T.S., the dance school directed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
In the podcast documentary Generation XIII, Delphine Hesters takes you on a three-year trip through the lives of five students at this dance school in Brussels: Kia from New Zealand, Zoé from France, Marllon from Brazil, Renátó from Hungary and Eleni from Greece.
