Master programme in Choreography
The Master Programme in Choreography, 120 credits, develops a critical consciousness and an understanding of contemporary choreographic practices through a wide range of studies, based on how aesthetics and art affect and are affected by our different ways of experiencing and understanding the world. Thematic learning processes include practical as well as theoretical knowledge, training activities for research and interdisciplinary meetings with other artistic and scientific fields of knowledge and expression. Furthermore, it highlights our individual and collective roles within art and society’s socioeconomic and political dynamic elements at a time of changing processes.The language of instruction is English.
The programme offers knowledge and methods to critically explore practical, structural and intellectual tools and principles, established by contemporary choreographic practices, and work for their expansion and development. The field engages students in processes to lay bare the ideological, ethic and operative framework within which choreography finds its expressions. Considerable emphasis is also laid upon knowledge formation including current debate, for example about power and identity in relation to body, movement, and performativity. DOCH offers the student a rich environment in which to explore more deeply her or his own practices.
After completing the master programme you may obtain a Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Choreography. The programme is offered by the Department of Dance.
