the college

The College has a charter explaining its missions, role and operation.

Originally formed by the closest collaborators of the founder of Jaques-Dalcroze Eurhythmics, the College has gradually been renewed through designation. Due to the expansion of the Jaques-Dalcroze method around the world which lead to a diversity of training systems, the College opened up geographically in 2003 in order to acquire a national and international dimension. The contribution of colleagues from elsewhere has since allowed it to enrich and broaden its points of view.

All the work and initiatives it carries out aim to strengthen cohesion and promote dialogue between Dalcrozians; to listen to their requests and to support the flourishing of Jaques-Dalcroze’s education throughout the world.

Today it has 18 members from different countries:

Active members: Louise Mathieu, president (Canada), Karin Greenhead, vice-president (UK), Hélène Nicolet, director of ijd (Switzerland), Florence Jaccottet, College delegate to the Foundation board (Switzerland), Jeremy Dittus, co-secretary (USA), Anne-Gabrielle Chatoux, co-secretary (France), Maite Bilbao (Spain), Pablo Cernik (Argentina), Gabi Chrisman (Switzerland), Silvia Del Bianco (Switzerland), Eiko Ishisuka (Japan), Martine Jaques-Dalcroze (Switzerland), Liu Kai (China), Yi Ru Mc Allister (Taïwan), Sylvie Morgenegg (Switzerland), Sandra Nash (Australia), Catherine Oppliger (Switzerland), Toru Sakai (Japan).
