PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

DAF in Italy has reshaped the dominant modality that saw the conclusion of its study paths for dancers as an event with the beginning and the end of a program that establishes collaboration and partnership relations exclusively in Italy with directors of theaters and international companies. A virtuous mechanism that has allowed our students in recent years to be artistically seen and known every season within DAF itself through the organization of a commission with directors of mainly European theaters.
This is a week at the end of the season where the commission has the possibility to choose who to invite through a contract or as a guest for a period of internship within the theater itself. In recent years, the number of active collaborations with theaters and companies has increased exponentially, widening the possibility of direct dialogue and being able to guarantee a clear and concrete comparison with various artistic directors. Among the projects in the network with the DAF Center, an exclusive tool stands out. A network of companies meant to allow a preferential relationship for the benefit of students that acts as an incubator for new job opportunities.
