Brief course description

Every course in the study plan creates the foundation for the course Artistic Expression and Interpretation. This course should give the student knowledge of and experience with the collaboration between the technical performance of dance, interpretation and artistic presentation. The course also aims at giving the student experience with different choreographic processes, stage equipment and an insight into the stage as a workplace.

Overview of the course:

  • the rehearsal of existing and the development of new works.
  • presentation, interpretation and the development of roles.
  • performance work.

In working with stage presentation, the focus will be on a range of repertoire. Students will be expected to master the expression of both traditional, classical style and more recent choreography. The student’s ability to interpret movement and develop integrity and personal expression is an essential part of the course. Students must also collaborate actively and creatively while working with new productions.

In rehearsal and performance work, students will encounter differing forms of style, working methods and choreographers.

Participation in various ballet competitions will, in special circumstances, form a part of stage presentation for selected students.

The course’s learning outcomes

On completing the course, the student should:

  • have knowledge about and be able to express different, choreographic and artistic activities at a high level of accomplishment.
  • have knowledge and awareness about themselves as dancers in a wider perspective and participate actively in the collective process.
  • be able to give expression and meaning to movement and understand the significance of their own stage presence.
  • be able to contribute to choreographic work processes.
  • have understanding of the stage as a work place.

Teaching and learning methods

The course consists of teacher-led classes, coaching and independent study. During this period, related work with presentations and performances is of the utmost importance.

Displays and performances will be arranged according to the requirements of the programme. Throughout the year the number and scope of presentations and performances may vary.

The coursework requirements are:

  • mandatory attendance and participation in classes.
  • submission of all assignments.
  • fulfilment of the rehearsal process and development of the movement material.
  • participation in performance work.
  • involvement in summarising and evaluation.

Assessment

Coursework requirements must have been met for the student to receive a final assessment in the course.

During the course, the students work and development will be assessed in relation to the course's learning objectives. The course is assessed by the course teacher and/or a choreographer in consultation with the programme coordinator.

The course is assessed by the awarding of either a pass or a fail grade.
