Evening with an Artist

Get ready to delve into the captivating history of our Dancer and Principal Rehearsal Director, Patric Palkens. From his formative training days to commanding the stage in principal and soloist roles with renowned companies, his story promises to captivate and inspire.

After immersing ourselves in Patric‘s journey, it’s time to move! Lace up your sneakers (all willing) and participate in an interactive workshop. Explore the nuances of classical and contemporary partnering techniques while unraveling the intricate language of nonverbal communication amongst dancers.

Cap off the evening with an exclusive premiere screening of two dance film shorts! First up, Dancers Feet, starring Patric, Fuki, Sophie, and all six of their mesmerizing feet. Then, witness the behind-the-scenes magic in The Making of Slam! This documentary-style piece offers a glimpse into last season’s hit ballet, featuring our entire company alongside slam poets.

Afterward, Join Patric and Diane for a glass of wine and engaging discussion, where you can further explore the evening’s revelations and share your own reflections.
