The vertigo of the act of creation and of stage exposure, facing
the audience, is perceived as a vibration of the human being,
in the fullness of time that signs its authenticity.

"It is only on stage that I can express certain things. What
I am looking for, what I am feeling, what it represents to me,
I believe there is nothing that can describe it." Pina Bausch

“Artistic work is conceived as the model for work that is not
alienating and through which the subject reaches fruition
in the fullness of his freedom by expressing the forces that
make up the essence of his humanity.” Pierre-Michel Menger

Professional dancers have neither a trainer, nor do they have a manager.
They alone are in charge of their careers.

“The professional regime is one where you work to earn your keep,
whereas the vocational regime is one where you earn money in order
to be able to freely exercise your need to create.” Nathalie Heinich

On average, a dancer’s performance career lasts 15 years.

"For the uninitiated, the dance profession (...) illustrates an
ancient meaning of the term career: a short and fast race,
a star that crosses the sky." Pierre-Emmanuel Sorignet
