Nienke was the visionary behind the unique "Inclusiedans" project at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. Since 2014 dance and diversity has been an official part of the curriculum. Students from the study program and dancers with a physical or mental disability get together, do research, exchange, make performances and learn from each other. In addition to the weekly labo research group, the project also includes an annual symposium with workshops, performances, debates and collaborations with teachers, artists and companies from the Netherlands and abroad who are active in the social art field and inclusive dance practice. In the Summerschool, which takes place on arts campus deSingel and the theme days during the academic year, new collaborations are entered into with programs, theaters and artists who propagate dance and diversity in their way of working and we share this knowledge with a larger audience. https://www.ap-arts.be/en/symposium-dance-and-diversity-2019
