episode 24 - Monumental Movement with Sheila de Val, Ursula Robb, Poul Helmer and Rasmus Ölme
This episode was recorded the 16th of December 2023 as a part of the event Monumental Movement at The Danish National School of Performing Arts.
For more than 20 years the dance studios at Philip de Langes Allé 3, at Holmen in Copenhagen, have been a place where generations of dancers received their dance education. In February 2024, The Danish National School of Performing Arts – formerly known as The National School for Contemporary Dance – will move out of these beautiful studios.
Monumental Movement was a two day-event to celebrate and acknowledge all the dancing that has happened at this place.
Episode 24 is a conversation between Sheila de Val, Rasmus Ölme, Ursula Robb and Poul Helmer, moderated by Rebecka Berchtold. We talk about teaching, memories from the studios at Philip de Langes allé, dancer-teacher-choreographer, being a faculty teacher, to get your ego out of the way, technique, students, to invest yourself in what's happening rather than think about what you could do, dance classes as experiments and much more.
Monumental Movement was organized by DDSKS in close collaboration with Danish Dance Stories (Andrea Deres and Carolina Bäckman), 5678 (Rebecka Berchtold) and the Alumni (Casper Albrektsen and Magalí Camps).
