25 April 2017
Under The generic title “Arrakala 2017, a deep and long opening” Dantzerti, the Higher School of Dramatic Art and Dance of the Basque Country, opens up a chink or meeting point for students at the school and professionals from the performing arts, to allow theatre and dance professionals to participate in Dantzerti at the same time.
The new space to be opened up by Arrakala 2017 takes the form of a special programme of courses on which students both from the school and from outside are working. There will also be an open day to present the school through its regular subjects, alongside other activities to be staged between 8 and 11 May.
The Arrakala 2017 programme will focus on drama. Drama viewed in a very broad sense: written, staged, with a physical or bodily basis… offering the opportunity to address drama from a very wide range of perspectives. Arrakala 2017 forms a part of the main aim pursued by Dantzerti: to invite its students to reflect on theatre and dance, by offering an experience of professional development, while also raising the school's social profile and championing the role played by the performing arts in society.
All those from outside Dantzerti who nonetheless wish to take part in the Arrakala 2017 programme will need to register for those events of interest to them, in particular the workshops given by guest professionals, since the number of places is limited.
All the activities scheduled as part of Arrakala 2017 will take place at the main Dantzerti building (Plaza Ibarrekolanda 1, Bilbao)

David Barbero, Joan Casas Fuster, Patxo Tellería and the Dejabu Panpin Laborategia company will be among those conveying their knowledge through practical exercises shared with the students.

Conference by Joan Casas Fuster, and presentation of the Dantzerti Library
The focal conference in the week of activities organised by Dantzerti will take place on Tuesday 9 May courtesy of the dramatist Joan Casas Fuster, and entitled “ Performing Arts: criticism and theory in training performers". Mr Casas Fuster will recount his own professional career in the theatre, in arguing for academic training for performers.
The Catalan dramatist's ties to Basque theatre date back a long time, beginning in the 1980s with the company Geroa. Particular mention should, though, be made of his links to Dantzerti, as a result of his generosity in recently having donated to the school around 2000 volumes from his personal library, specifically connected with the theatre. The Dantzerti Library will be presented during the week of Arrakala 2017, to coincide with Mr Casas Fuster's attendance.
The donation contains primary and secondary texts from all eras of Western theatre, works on oriental theatre traditions, studies, research and journals in French, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan and Spanish, comprising a collection of great interest to any professional in the performing arts, and an outstanding basis on which to develop the Dantzerti Library, as well as for educational use by both students at the school and the general public. Not only is the donation of huge economic value, but it would also be impossible today to find some of the volumes donated, aside from the value represented by the philanthropic generosity of Mr Casas Fuster's gesture.
Open Day
On 11 May, Dantzerti will also be throwing open its doors for the day, inviting all students and their relatives who wish to explore in greater depth the work performed at the school (discovering the regular subjects first hand), the higher education studies in Dramatic Art and Dance offered by Dantzerti, or to clear up any queries about the entrance tests for these courses. Since places for the open day are limited, students wishing to attend will need to register in advance by email:
