About the course

The School for the Contemporary Arts offers a Dance program in contemporary dance training, creation, and performance that is uniquely interdisciplinary, intercultural, and that caters to today’s imaginative dance artist. We are looking for students interested in exploring multiple and creative ways of approaching contemporary movement and composition, and in expanding their versatility with the challenge of reshaping the landscape of the contemporary dance scene.

　　Our program is open to those who come from so-called ‘classical,’ ‘modern,’ or ‘contemporary’ studio training, as well as those with movement practices that fall outside those codified forms. Studio courses provide theoretical approaches to training using a variety of methods and techniques that are also integrated into courses on composition, improvisation, collaboration, and performance. Our lecture courses follow the same principle: they not only provide historical and aesthetic contexts for critical thinking based on our concept of practice-as-research, they also allow our students freedom to question those contexts with information from their own socio-cultural backgrounds and experiences. Collaboration is a key aspect of our program and we encourage our students to work across other disciplines in the SCA — Film, Music & Sound, Theatre Performance, Theatre Production & Design, Visual Art, and Art, Performance & Cinema Studies — to produce new, exciting cross-disciplinary projects.
