p Plastic arts - Libramont 2013 

2013 will be a pivotal year for the plastic arts sector of the AKDT: a change can still be in the same direction, but it is always accompanied by new aspects. The program promises to be attractive: renowned courses, original disciplines, introductory courses, advanced courses, learning techniques, contemporary creations.

What is art today, what approach can be taken with the help of an old or more modern technique? Whatever your expectations, your experience, your level, in drawing, painting, sculpture, welding, writing, illustration, mosaics, basketry, dress design, lace, photo, video? the range of activities on offer will lead you towards many stimulating horizons of artistic expression.

For three weeks, the Libramont site, marked by the arts and cultural exchanges in July, will host courses in the plastic arts, music, theater and dance.
For practical information and the equipment to bring for each course, visit our website www.akdt.be

We look forward to seeing you in July!

m Music - Libramont 2013 

Each year, in July, the same swarming starts again in Libramont : music comes from everywhere and always meets other artistic disciplines present on the site.
Also in Libramont, the generations meet each other, the knowledges are swapped. The musical session of AKDT are more than courses, they are a heart of musical meetings and ideas exchanges. It is found nowhere else. The knowledge and the attention given to the trainees by the teachers, the interdisciplinary and the close collaboration with Wallonie-Bruxelles International WBI (thanks to them, many African grant holders bring their knowledge and share their culture), as well as the partnership with ReMuA (link a musicians who work in workshops) enable the sessions to be a crossroads of knowledge human warmth, open-mindedness and adventure spirit.

You will know all that in the musical sessions in Libramont ! In addition of all the things which can't be described... by the writing.

The sessions are opened for everyone : beginners, advanced, nearly professionals and also for professionals (some courses can be a good supplement to the training followed with other approaches for people who are already teachers).

I stay at your disposal for further information and wish you an unforgettable week in the center of Ardenne.

Artistic Advisor

t Traditional dances and musics - Neufchâteau 2013 

The traditional dance and music sessions in Neufchâteau are unique in Europe in the range of courses on offer, and there are so many people to testify to it. During two full weeks, musical cultures from all over the world come together around a high quality teaching program dedicated to amateurs and professionals. Thirty hours of practice over six days of courses, without forgetting the generosity of the artists during the evening concerts, shows and screenings, make these two weeks a real summer festival dedicated to the music of the world.

From 30 June to 14 July, Neufchâteau will welcome more than forty disciplines represented by around fifty teachers.

Many new courses are available in this 2013 season. In the first week, which is dedicated to traditional music with its dance music from home, we will be pleased to welcome new teachers: one from France and the other from Italy. Julien Cartonnet and Simone Bottasso will breathe fresh inspiration into the bagpipes and diatonic accordions. But there will also be Brazilian dance and music, tango, African music, Klezmer and Swedish music? The second week will bring together flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Indian, Greek and Balkan music, Gipsy Jazz. Several new courses will be on offer, including the Balkan fanfare of Pantelis Stoikos, the Kathak dance of northern India, the magic of the oriental music of the violin of the Greek Kyriakos Gouventas, or of the qanun of the Tunisian Nidhal Jaoua, or even the jiving Lindy Hop!

We suggest that you enroll as soon as possible in order to guarantee the best organization of these musical weeks, which I hope will meet all your expectations once again.

Artistic adviser
