The Palucca Hochschule für Tanz Dresden is a state art college in Dresden with a focus on dance , dance pedagogy and choreography . The current rector is Jason Beechey .
The university has an integrated secondary school with in-depth dance training. The secondary school qualification obtained there qualifies the students with the appropriate artistic / dance aptitude for admission to the bachelor's degree in dance. The Abitur is generally not an entry requirement. Rather, artistic and physical criteria are decisive for admission. For a degree in dance education or choreography, practical stage experience is also important.
history
The school was founded by Gret Palucca in Dresden in 1925 . Palucca initially taught in her apartment on the Bürgerwiese . She later rented training rooms for her school in Dresden. A branch was opened in Berlin in 1928 and in Stuttgart in 1931. From 1939 to 1945, Palucca was not allowed to teach because of her Jewish descent. She reopened her school on July 15, 1945. In 1949 the Palucca School Dresden was nationalized. In 1952, construction work began on a new school building on Basteiplatz, which was completed in 1955. 1988 a 24-minute episode of the series was in January and Tini traveling the East German children's television filmed at school. Palucca taught here himself until 1991. On October 5, 2007, after three years of construction, a new campus with a modern extension was completed.
In 2006 a so-called Eleven program was initiated in cooperation with the Dresden Semperoper Ballet , which gives young dancers the opportunity to further develop their skills and apply them in professional practice.
building
The older wing of the building on Basteiplatz was built between 1953 and 1955 with a neo-classical facade. The design comes from Fred Pietsch and Herbert Schneider and the project implementation from Gerd Dettmar . A modern extension (dance halls, boarding school and physiotherapy) on Wiener Straße , designed by the Hanover-based architecture firm Storch Ehlers Partner , has made additional rooms available since April 2007. In this context, the areas on the two neighboring properties belonging to the school on Tiergartenstrasse, including the villas on them, were given a connecting and listed garden and park concept. This gave the campus an extension.
The bronze sculpture above the main entrance is a work by Rudolf Löhner .
