something else entirely is a new performance work by keyon gaskin, made on the invitation of SNDO – School for New Dance Development to engage with the third year students through a two-week workshop leading towards a public presentation. The work is an interrogation of a previous solo by gaskin entitled this is a performance. / you are a community. / you are my material. / this is a prison. / leave when you want.

If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution produces art works and thematic programmes. Departing from a spirit of open questioning and long term enquiry with artists, If I Can’t Dance is dedicated to exploring the evolution and typology of performance and performativity in contemporary art. www.ificantdance.org

SNDO – School for New Dance Development offers a full time four-year professional education course leading to a bachelor’s degree in Art – Choreography. The school was founded in 1975 as an attempt to find new directions for dance next to the existing forms and styles that dominated the field. In the curriculum, the school establishes the conditions from which the creativity of the student can emerge. Reflection on the specific qualities of dance and performance as art forms is developed, and awareness of the body and the artistic implications of working with it take precedence. The SNDO has built an international reputation and has students from more than forty different countries. This reputation and its excellent pool of alumni and guest teachers and artists continue to contribute to SNDO development and renewal, challenging and expanding upon established ways of making choreographies and performances. It is only possible to achieve this through the combination of an ongoing articulation of vision on art, society, and education, and the translation of this vision-in-movement into the school structure and the curriculum. The SNDO is part of Academy of Theatre and Dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts. www.sndo.nl
