Across the 2015–2016 academic year, If I Can’t Dance will continue its longstanding educational partnership with the Dutch Art Institute, and will further its collaboration with the artist Jon Mikel Euba on the course, ACTION UNITES, WORDS DIVIDE (ON PRAXIS, AN UNSTATED THEORY). Over the course Euba will engage the students in monthly workshop sessions, and individual face-to-face meetings. The course also includes a 10-day intensive workshop at Tanakita Camping Ground in Sukambi, Indonesia as part of the Dutch Art Institute’s trip to Java for the opening weeks of the Jakarta Biennale in November 2015. The course is coordinated by If I Can't Dance curator Susan Gibb. More information is available here.

The course sits within the framework of the Dutch Art Institute’s Roaming Academy projects, which are devised by invited curators and their guests, and who this year include: If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution in collaboration with Jon Mikel Euba; Tirdad Zolghadr in collaboration with Sarah Pierce; and Ruth Noack in collaboration with May Adadol Ingawanji, Tina Gverović, and Grace Samboh. 

To commence the academic year, the Dutch Art Institute will temporarily relocate to Eindhoven where the curators of the three Roaming Academy’s will make a presentation about their course. The presentation by If I Can’t Dance will include a new text by Jon Mikel Euba, presented in his absence via a live translation from Spanish to English.
