Artistic Expression and Stage Presentation
Brief course description
All the courses in the programme build up to and create the basis for the Artistic Expression and Stage Presentation. 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.
In working with stage presentation, the focus will be on great variation in repertoire. It is expected that students will master both expressions of traditional, classical style and more recent choreography. The students' ability to interpret movement and develop integrity and personal expression is an essential part of the course.
The course is a further extension of the previous course Artistic Expression and Stage Presentation part 3.
