Course Summary

This course focuses on expanding your creative artistic practice in dance and related fields. It runs from January to December.

You will develop skills to contextualise, re-frame and challenge your practice and to plan research projects to resource and communicate your ideas.

Through workshops and seminars with faculty and invited artists, you will explore and discuss how your artistic ideas are conceptualised, developed, and experienced and how they can be situated within and across social, political, historical, and artistic contexts.

You will build a portfolio of work throughout the course, supported by the faculty, multiple visiting artists, mentors and peers, and you will explore how to invite audiences into relationships with your practice.

YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO:

  • Critically reflect on your own practice, acknowledging your personal narratives and histories
  • Be autonomous and self-motivated in your own learning
  • Come with an open mind and be willing to take risks

Modules

Using what you have learnt in Locating Practice, you will work to develop this in relation to wider contexts, audiences, and applications. Regular visits from visiting artists will continue. You will gather the professional skills you require to take your work beyond the institution, for example, weekly artistic development seminars, workshops on lighting and sound design and dance filmmaking. Developing a sustainable and responsible arts practice that promotes longevity.
