Kort beskrivelse av emnet

The course illuminates the dancer’s practice, knowledge and awareness of stage presence and expression. Through encounters and workshops with dance artists and other creative and performing artists, students will gain insight into methods and various strategies for physical articulation and performative expressions. Experience-based learning, by solving various artistic and performer-specific assignments, gives the students self-confidence to develop their own performing and creative methods and thereby prepares them even more to work on performances and productions.

This course also includes an introduction to stagecraft elements and other various artistic tools. Collaborations with other students, primarily at the Academy of Dance but also other programmes, are an integral part of the course.
