Connected by walkways, three building wings stand aside one another on a vast parcel of land bordered on one side by the town, and nature on the other: the dance building, the general education and administrative wing, and the residence hall. Located near Nanterre’s André Malraux Park, not far from the underground rail line linking it to the Palais Garnier, the Ballet School was conceived in order to reproduce spatially the different times in children’s day. In 2022, 33 countries were represented amongst our 271 summer students, who attended half or the full programme. The Summer School faculty includes teachers and pianists from the Paris Opera School and dancers from the Paris Opera Company.Ģ06 students attended the ten-day first edition of the Summer School in 2013: 127 of them came from abroad. Created in 2013 for the Tercentenary of the Paris Opera School, this summer intensive is a unique opportunity for young dancers from all over the world to train at the world’s most ancient ballet school. Limit to audiences based in the United States & Canada.The Summer School is addressed to young dancers between 10 and 19 years of age. Known for drawing from the languages of William Forsythe, Jiří Kylián and Mats Ek, Crystal Pite is a Vancouver-based choreographer whose work has been recognized by the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award and many other honors. Body and Soul is a timeless, vast, and heartbreakingly intimate portrait of the human condition.

Performed in three distinct parts, with fluidity, generosity, and a rare intensity, the performance begins with a voice-over text that describes a scene of conflict between two individuals.
