Since 2021, WIJS fysio + gym has been a dedicated partner of ICK Dans Amsterdam. WIJS provides the dancers with treatments and supports them in developing a strong bodily awareness essential to the virtuosic dance quality they bring to the stage.

It is a special collaboration: the physiotherapists are present every month for scheduled sessions, yet whenever unexpected injuries occur, time and space are made day or night for the ICK dancers.

A practice familiar with ICK’s dance method, WIJS can effectively train the dancers to prevent injuries.

Arnaud Macquet, therapist at WIJS and former dancer with the company, explains:

“I am intimately familiar with the company’s physical approach, having experienced it from the inside. With my expertise as a physiotherapist and my personal experience of its intense movement vocabulary, I aim to enhance the well-being of its dancers.”
