Profile
The BA program in Dance and Choreography at the Danish National School of Performing Arts (DASPA) aims at graduating highly accomplished artists by developing and deepening each student’s singular awareness of the artistic, technical, and critical perspectives of dance and choreography. Engaging in the question of bodily capacities, functionalities, and expressions through artistic practice are understood as a way to leave presumed oppositions between body and mind, theory and practice, and thinking and doing. The goal is to graduate students that are able to engage in a large array of artistic works both in groups and individually, departing from a perception of body and space and critical awareness. The graduate shall have the possibility to engage in the professional field as a creative artist, be it as a performer in someone else’s work or producing their own work alone or collectively. The two main subjects are dance and choreography. The two subjects are not understood as separate identities of dancers or choreographers, but as two entangled subjects that are studied in relation to each other. The subject of dance encompasses a large range of techniques under the umbrella of the craft modules called Dance Body Movement. The combination of different approaches to dance, body, and movement may include contemporary techniques, somatic practices; improvisation, ballet, and martial arts. The goal is to prepare the students to apply their bodily awareness to all sorts of physical practices by developing an understanding of technique as something that one develops as one learns how to work. As a student, this work is to learn how to learn, with the body as a foundation. The subject of choreography focuses on composition, crafting own works, and the contextual sides of an expanded notion of choreography that investigates choreographic perspectives beyond dance, yet based on the embodied knowledge of movement.
