Indeed this stage has a 3,5% slope that allows a deeper perspective and a better view for the audience. But how does it affect the dancers? How do they adapt to it? How do they prevent injuries or accidents? Wednesday, January 29, 17:00 18:00 Julio Bocca The Star from Argentina Julio Bocca is a member of the jury for the 2014 Prix de Lausanne.

23 Daily Dance Dialogues Friday, January 31, 12 :30 13 :30 Sports science and Dance training by Patrick Rump, Brian Maloney, Stefanie Arndt. Film by Nigel Wattis Patrick Rump is a physiotherapist specialized in dance. He is a Sports Scientist on staff at the Royal Ballet in London as well as guest professor for the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt. Brian Maloney is a former soloist of the Royal Ballet who has recently joined forces with Patrick Rump. We are an interdisciplinary team of sports scientists and ballet coaches who apply the advances of sports science and medicine to the demands of the 21st Century dancer. We offer specifically designed training which focuses on rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance enhancement which is based on an in-depth Individual Assessment. This tests strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, co-ordination and balance. If a dancer becomes injured we then have a pre-injury reference point to work towards. Importantly, risk factors which might not have previously been identified may also become apparent through the Assessment and addressed at an early stage, as well as areas a dancer might wish to improve. This form of Assessment, its analysis and recommendations, is also of inestimable value to the young student with a still-developing body. Post-Assessment the dancer at any level of development is provided with a very structured regime of training designed around individual needs and requirements. The presentation will include a film on the subject directed by Nigel Wattis. Alina Cojocaru s Testimonial, former Principal Dancer of the Royal Ballet and currently Leading Principal Dancer with the English National Ballet, Prix de Lausanne prize winner in 'My return to Giselle and to dance in 2008 after a major injury would have taken so much longer if I had not found Patrick's training. I wish I had found it much earlier in my life when I was a student. Now it gives me every dancer's dream to have the strength and control to lose oneself in the dance. My control and freedom comes from 50% ballet training and 50% sports science training and I could not do one without the other' PRIX DE LAUSANNE 42 nd COMPETITION
