Utøvende og skapende metode 2

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 or performing artists, students will gain insight into various strategies and methods for physical articulation and performative expressions. Experience-based learning, based on solving various artistic and performer-specific assignments, gives students self-confidence to develop their own performing and creative methods and thereby prepares the students even further to work on performances and productions. This course also contains an introduction to stage techniques and other performance techniques. Collaborations with other students, primarily at the Academy of Dance but also other programmes, are an integral part of the course.
