BA (HONS) INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY DANCE PRACTICES
About This Course
Cross-continental delivery: Due to its location in the vibrant cultural hubs of London and Singapore, you will be exposed to a wide range of techniques, practices, cultures and traditions, developing you as an independent and experimental portfolio dance artist ready for an international career.
Global citizenry: By engaging in multiple creative projects and collaborations with international artists and peers across different art forms, cultures and contexts, you discover how to be culturally situated and relevant with your art.
Focus on personal artistry: The close mentoring by artist-lecturer on the many student-led research and creative projects, collaborations and performances in varied performance contexts enable you to discover and develop your personal artistic voice.
What You'll Learn
The programme brings international perspectives and transcultural approaches to reflect on your creative processes, both as a performer and independent creator. You have the opportunity to participate in a variety of live and digital performances in a range of performance contexts, as well as volunteer at short-term residencies and internships and placements during the semester breaks.
The first year of study will be delivered at London Contemporary Dance School in London and the final two years in Singapore at LASALLE. The foundation year pays attention to inclusivity and cultural differences through encounters with dances of the African diaspora, South Asian dance practices and Euro-American practices. The dancer’s relationship with the body through anatomy and body conditioning, and the relationship to music and history will be explored. The curriculum also includes workshops, guest teaching and performances that draw on the rich tapestry of work available in London.
The final two years build on the artistry with explorations across cultures and a diverse range of dance theories and practices, particularly contemporary dance practices in Southeast Asia. The individual artistic voice is developed through collaborations with different disciplines and experiments in a range of media. You will also research and design your own projects in a negotiated area of interest that develops your personal artistic and creative practice.
