The Bachelor Dance department at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, asked Karel to make an audio-visual work about the current programme. As a teacher and mentor, Karel knows the daily habitat inside out. He followed three students during their daily training for one month, and created a sincere image from the heart of the practice, a look into the studios with the students. This film contributes to a process of critical reflection executed for an international review of the Bachelor Dance programme in march 2021.

THE FUTURE DANCE ARTIST NOW is a personal portrait of education in motion.
