P.A.R.T.S., the Brussels school of contemporary dance based on Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker artistic practice, organizes also in Florence, in collaboration with Fabbrica Europa, an audition for the pre-selection of young dancers (between the ages of 18 and 23) who want to attend the upcoming Training programme 2019-2022 that will begin in September 2019.
Auditions will take place in many European and extra-European cities between December 2018 and March 2019. In Florence, the only date in Italy, the audition will be held on March 23, 2019 at PARC Performing Arts Research Centre (Piazzale delle Cascine 4/5/7), the new venue of Fabbrica Europa.
