With the completion of the 13 sessions, students will have a coherent overview of western theatre dance history and evolution and are able to identify key figures, trends and ideas within modern, postmodern and contemporary dance. They can locate and discuss basic theoretic and philosophical principles that have informed dance research and creation, as well as dance’s contribution to current academic theory and practice and sociopolitical debates.

Within class students are further encouraged to interact with each other and collaborate in small group projects, present and discuss their ideas and experiment on problem-solving tasks.
