During the spring term, the dancers have carte blanche to create their own piece. Their works include a denunciation of homophobia, a critique of toxic relationships, and a homage to voguing as a way of questioning gender identity.

It's back to school for Oscar, Maxime, Johan, Camille, Kenza and the 23 other students in their third year at the prestigious Conservatoire in Paris. Whether trained in classical or contemporary dance, all of them are working on a performance of Trisha Brown's choreography. Her fluid, free but precise style is a tall order for dancers used to the straight, long lines of ballet. After intense rehearsals, the students also have to contend with stage fright.

Arno: Dancing Inside My Head

Thousands of small farmers grow tea on the steep slopes of the coastal mountains in Turkey. Because the sacks of harvested tea leaves are large and heavy, the tea pickers use cobbled-together cable cars to carry the harvest up or down the hill to the road. 16 people have died in cable car accidents over the past decade, but hundreds more have lost limbs. One engineer is calling for standardised, safe infrastructure to be set up - but politicians don't seem interested.

"If he hits you, he loves you." That's the kind of tone-deaf attitude that many Russian women still face when it comes to confronting domestic violence and abuse. One woman is killed every hour. And when they pluck up the courage to finally call the police, the police don't always come.
