The admissions process for the Artisteducator in Dance course consists of two rounds. The first round takes place on a single day. After this day, you will hear whether you have been admitted to the second round. The second round takes place over two days, after which the final results will be announced.
During the admission days, various workshops are offered. Each workshop focuses on specific qualities, skills, and attributes required for our programme. We will assess your artistic ability, research skills, ability to connect artistic concepts, physical learning capacity, environmental awareness, and intrinsic motivation.
These workshops also give you a good impression of our way of working and whether this program is the right fit for you.
The day begins with a group session for all participants. Following this, you will attend three workshops in smaller groups: Solo and Artist Talk, Movement Lab, and Makers Lab.
This workshop evaluates your artistic and connecting abilities. You will present a solo and engage in a discussion on topics such as your creative process and sources of inspiration.
Solo Criteria (prepared in advance):
Minimum duration: 1 minute; maximum duration: 2.5 minutes.
Choose your own dance style and source of inspiration or concept (a core idea or story behind your dance).
Perform your solo without music.
In the Movement Lab, we evaluate your artistic and exploratory abilities. This workshop emphasizes the unique way you move and express yourself through dance. You will develop your own movement language in various ways, with creativity and individual expression at the center.
In the Makers Lab, we focus on your connecting and exploratory abilities. You will work on creating dance, drawing from various sources of inspiration. We challenge you to connect with others, be brave, and take initiative.
The second round lasts two days. The first day begins with a group session, followed by two workshops and a motivation interview.
At the beginning of the first day, all participants take part in a Dance Workshop, where we will assess your physical learning ability. You can choose the style in which you want to participate.
This workshop takes place over two sessions: one in the afternoon and one the following morning. It evaluates your artistic, exploratory, and connecting abilities, as well as your environmental awareness. After an introduction to the "Issue-Based" concept, you will work in groups of five to seven participants on a small project centred around a topic or theme.
During one of the two days, you will have a short interview to discuss your motivation and expectations for the programme.
The Artisteducator in Dance course is a versatile course offering opportunities in a wide range of career fields. The physical demands of the programme are high, so it is essential that you understand your body well. Therefore, after successfully passing the audition, you will need to undergo a Dance Medical Examination (DMO) to determine if you will physically be able to meet the programme's demands.
The DMO is conducted at the Sport Medical Center Papendal and consists of two parts:
If you pass the second round and are offered admission, you can register for a DMO, choosing from several available dates.
After the auditions and the medical and dance physical examination, you will be notified within two weeks whether you have been offered admission. An offer of admission only applies to the ArtEZ Bachelor of Dance in Education programme in Arnhem and for the academic year immediately following the audition. If more people qualify for admission than the programme can accommodate, several of them will be put on a waitlist.
