2016 'Danse et Santé Holistique', Clare Guss-West, Opera de Rouen
At the beginning of the year the RESEO team received the fabulous news that the Rudolf Nureyev Foundation Medical Website & One Dance UK will extend their 2015 ‘Dance is my Life’ workshop “offer” for RESEO members for another full year! Bravo! Thank you the Nureyev Foundation and One Dance UK for your support of RESEO!
Last year RESEO members: Ballet de l’Opéra national du Rhin, and Opéra de Rouen Normandie took up the offer, taking advantage of the specialist skills and knowledge of Erin Sanchez (The Nureyev Foundation & One Dance UK) and Clare Guss-West (RESEO).
The Nureyev Foundation offers RESEO members one free half-day workshop from a series entitled “dance is my life”. The workshops are aimed at sharing research and knowledge in Dance and Health for various different ‘dancing’ publics from Junior Ballets, hobby and talent dance groups, dance teachers and/or community dancing groups who do not have access to healthy dancer’s education or basic wellbeing and nutrition information. We consider the sharing of this foundational ‘Care of your instrument’ a key component to enhance the experience of any participant of dance and the Nureyev Foundation wishes to actively promote the diffusion of available health and wellbeing knowledge for dancers of any age.
So far each workshop has been completely tailored to the needs of the RESEO member company. At Opera de Rouen, Clare gave a large practical workshop in October for the general public on Dance and Holistic Health that was warmly received.
“Thank you for sharing such a beautiful ENERGY. I am not a dancer however you showed us, children and parents that dance does not have to mean physical suffering. Thank you for bringing us today a magnificent approach to dance”
Together Clare and Erin visited RESEO member company Ballet de l’Opera du Rhin at the beginning of their 2015/2016 Season for two days of practical workshops for the company dancers and ballet masters exploring the latest research and techniques for an holistic approach to optimize training, minimize effort and injury and enhance performance.
RESEO members, The Royal Ballet and Norway National Ballet will host 2016 workshops with Clare and Erin in the latest research findings on performance, training and therapeutic practice – this time these will be specialist workshops dedicated to their dancer’s Health Care teams, therapists and trainers.
2016 has RESEO members the National Opera & Ballet Amsterdam, Finnish National Ballet, Aslico: Teatro Social di Como, Aleksandar Saša Ilić of Belgrade Dance Institute (who will host our Spring 2017 conference) and Anu Ruusmaa at The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre all set to take advantage of the Nureyev Foundation & One Dance Uk generous offer.
