In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is organizing, in collaboration with the Joyce Theater's New York Center for Creativity & Dance, the workshop Radial Courses repertory taught by Robert Mark Burke and Lonnie Poupard Jr. as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in New York. 

Radial Courses is a work choregraphed in silence in which four circular paths intersect. Each dancer will learn short phrases comprised of walking, running, skipping and jumping, and will use these phrases to execute a specific score. This work requires dancers to hold a rigid structure, both rhythmically and spatially, and is a challenge for the mind as much as the body. A brief warm-up is included at the start of each session.
