Training and curriculum
Contemporary Dance is the backbone of the degree. Around it, classical ballet, jazz, Caribbean rhythms, Mexican folklore and urban dance engage in dialogue with performance, choreographic composition, acting, voice, history, philosophy, critical thinking and research.
The training expands toward the languages and tools that build the contemporary stage: multimedia, space, light, set design and stagecraft; and toward the knowledge needed to develop and sustain projects: cultural management, the creative economy, funding, executive production and pedagogy for dance. The curriculum also includes functional anatomy and kinesiology, music applied to dance, audition management and a progressive choreographic lab process that culminates in the creation and staging of the thesis work.
A curriculum to perform, research, compose and create with technical mastery, critical thinking and a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary stage.
