Every principal dancer has been where you are today. We achieved our dreams and goals and you can too. Our faculty believes there is no greater honor and fulfillment than to pass on the legacy and tradition of dance to the next generation. We know what it takes to succeed and perform on the great stages of the world. We reinvest that knowledge and experience in you. We prepare you mentally and physically with a mastery, artistry, and refinement in dance to meet the diverse performing requirements of classical ballet and contemporary dance repertoire, choreographers and artistic directors hiring today. Some of you are joining us for the first time, and others have been accepted to re-enroll and continue their journey to employment in a professional dance company. Together, we share a bond, a passion for dance, and a personal quest for excellence. We enter a unique, special mentoring partnership to nurture and support your dream to be a great dancer. Our programs and policies are designed to give you the strongest possible foundation for success in the career you have chosen, but the artistic and academic progress you make during your time with us is up to you alone. You have been accepted into the first honored Topcultuur institution in Belgium history. You are not in competition with any dancer but yourself. Each day is a new and exciting challenge and journey of personal artistic growth. Secondary students (age 12-18) can enroll in “dance and academics” or “dance only.” Post graduates (age 16-21) not employed in a company can enroll in our “advanced dance only” program to perform diverse repertoire on stage, audition for company openings as they become available, and leave the program when employed. The deadline for enrollment in these programs is July 1 for the September 2012 to June 2013 school year. A checklist and other materials and forms are provided in this package to introduce you to our programs and guide you through registration, admission and enrollment procedures. We look forward to your arrival in Antwerp and working with you. MICHAEL SHANNON Artistic Director Admission & Enrollment Page 6 of 30 ADMISSION AND ENROLLMENT Option #1 Professional “Dance and Academic” Program for Secondary Students The Royal Ballet School Antwerp offers a full-time, September-June, Professional Dance and Academic Program designed exclusively for gifted Topcultuur students age 12 to 18 who have chosen to pursue a career in dance, and who want to graduate with academic diploma and certification of their mastery in classical ballet and contemporary dance to maximize future opportunities for employment and advanced university studies and dance research. Students who wish to register are only admitted on the basis of an admission Committee. It is needed to provide as soon as possible their diplomas and curriculum to the school so that the decision can be asap communicated. There is no tuition requirement for this program because a secondary (high) school education is mandated and supported by law for national and international students but you are responsible for associated fees and costs, e.g., food, housing, transportation, dress requirements, medical care, dental care, and insurance. Students enrolled in this program can live at home with parents, guardians, a host family, in dorms or independently (age 16 to 18 only). You will be placed in the dance and academic level that best fits your individual needs. This can be changed based on your technical and artistic progress and development. The Professional Dance & Academic Program engages you in key goals, artistic skills and academic fields of study to prepare you for the real world challenges you will encounter in adult professional life, e.g., critical thinking; artistic refinement and elegance, repertoire retention; excellence in acting, expression, nuance, range and adaptability; written and oral communication and presentation skills; the effective use and application of research, and the ability to approach problems from diverse perspectives. This and more is at the heart of your artistic and academic education in this program, with performing experience on stage a priority during your training years with us to prepare you for professional challenges in the real, diverse and highly competitive world of dance. Admission & Enrollment Page 7 of 30 ADMISSION AND ENROLLMENT Option #2 Professional “Dance Only" Program for Secondary School Students The Royal Ballet School Antwerp offers a full-time, September-June, Professional “Dance Only” Program for gifted Topcultuur students age 12 to 18 who have chosen to pursue a career in dance, and who want to graduate with Topcultuur Professional Dance Certification, but who want to complete their secondary education in an alternative public or private school, tutoring, home schooling, or online study programs. Responsibility to ensure an alternative academic program meets the legal requirements of a secondary education in Belgium is the exclusive jurisdiction of parents and guardians with appropriate advisors. Students enrolled in this program can live at home with parents, guardians, a host family, in dorms or independently (age 16 to 18 only). You will be placed in the dance and academic level that best fits your individual needs. This can be changed based on your technical and artistic progress and development. These decisions are made exclusively by the Artistic Director in consultation with appropriate faculty as needed. Since the student’s secondary

INTRODUCTION 1 Investigating signatures touches upon the real core of art history: connoisseurship. The construction of oeuvres is one of the basic tasks of art historians. Besides documents, they therefore inevitably have to make use of signatures. However, several great connoisseurs – Berenson, Friedländer – emphasize that signatures are faked quite often. Consequently, an investigation of signature practices can easily be criticized for the mere fact that it is very difficult to be sure of the authenticity of all the studied signatures.

Friedländer in the early twentieth century. At the time of their publications little was known about the artist’s life, but the evidence now available concerning his important reputation includes archival sources published since Friedländer’s day, an unpublished contract, early literary sources, and reevalu- ations of the artist’s work for the guild and church. The factors involved in his late sixteenth-century disappearance from the historical record are also analyzed.

  • Van Dyck's Portraits in the Prado

    Van Dyck's Portraits in the Prado

    1 David Freedberg Van Dyck’s Portraits in the Prado: The Spanish-Flemish Connection1 Van Dyck was one of the great portraitists. His works were neither as powerful as those of Velazquez and Rembrandt, nor did he have their depth of insight into human character. We need not go into their many differences here. But his prosopographic range was arguably greater than theirs. He painted in the Netherlands, Italy and England. The range of political figures he portrayed was wider than that of any of his peers. He was the favored portraitist of the Flemish upper bourgeoisie, of the Genoese aristocracy and of the English nobility, but he painted many other leading political and ecclesiastical figures, too. Although he never went to Spain, the works at issue here offer remarkable insight, not only into the connections between Spain and the Netherlands in the 17th century, but also into the international ramifications of Spanish politics. With the possible exception of Rubens, van Dyck was the finest of the Flemish portraitists—and there were many good ones. But by and large, whether one prefers a picture such as Rubens’s Nonnius over van Dyck’s Snyders, for example, is a matter of taste. As a portraitist of children, he was almost Rubens’s equal. When it came to women, however, van Dyck was notably inferior, except in his Genoese pictures; indeed, to compare the portrait by Rubens of the Chapeau de Paille with almost any of van Dyck’s female sitters is to see how much the latter’s work in this area was wanting, even in the best of cases.

  • The Moneychanger and His Wife: from Scholastics to Accounting

    The Moneychanger and His Wife: from Scholastics to Accounting

    The moneychanger and his wife: from scholastics to accounting Autor(es): Manuel Santos Redondo Título: The moneychanger and his wife: from scholastics to accounting Resumen: The Moneychanger and his Wife is a Flemish painting from the early 16th century, widely used to illustrate economic activity. There are two different versions: one by Quentin Massys, 1514, and another by Marinus van Reymerswaele, 1539. There are significant changes between the two versions, which I will argue do have an economic meaning. In the process of reviewing the different interpretations provided by art historians of this picture and other similar ones, we shall see that they are consistent with the views that most art historians share about the commercial and financial world rather than based on any objective interpretation of the painting and history. Thus, while the picture shows commercial and financial activity to be a normal, respectable occupation, most art historians see a moralizing and satirical intention. My view is that art historians’ prejudice towards commercial and financial activity leads them to a wrong interpretation of the painting. RESUMEN El cambista y su mujer es un cuadro de la escuela flamenca, de principios del siglo XVI, ampliamente utilizado para ilustrar la actividad económica. Existen dos versiones: una de Quentin Massys, 1514, y otra de Marinus van Reymerswaele, 1539, con cambios relevantes entre ambas. Estos cambios tienen un significado económico importante. Las interpretaciones de este cuadro y otros similares que hacen los historiadores del arte son coherentes con su visión del mundo de la economía, más que responder a un análisis objetivo del cuadro y de la historia.
