Overview
The mission of Contemporary Dance BA of BCDC is to foster the development and artistic growth of young, talented individuals. To achieve this goal we strive to create an environment where all students can pursue the knowledge, tools and skills required of performance artists entering into the ever expanding field of contemporary dance.
During the three-year training program, students will receive training in diverse technical dance techniques as well as have the time for individual research in pursuit of innovative approaches for creating and performing their own works. The three year curriculum is designed to guide the student through a dance education that will culminate in the BA degree in contemporary dance at the end of their studies.
Further objective of the BA course is to provide orientation and preparation for future students and anyone who is interested in contemporary dance. In the frame of LEAP programs we are offering courses and workshops to help people on their path to engage with dance.
It is our goal to create an educational environment where the fields of dance pedagogy and arts education represent the basic values and diverse aspects of social and cultural life. An important component of this goal is to expose the students to the artistic work and performances of the school’s former students. In doing so, the student enters into a holistic approach to education involving the diversity of dance, culture, art and life.
The three-year training program enables applicants to step onto the path of becoming professional contemporary dancers.
The curriculum focuses on the study of traditional and innovative dance techniques as well as supports and encourages students in their search and development of experimental, research-based creative practices that will lead them to find their own unique, authentic performing voice.
Attributes such as reflectivity, curiosity and dedication are essential to shape the student’s self-image as a performer or creator. These qualities, in turn, will elevate their sensitivity and openness towards social and cultural contexts.
The three-year program is aimed at those who are willing to undertake 100% intensive individual and group work in order to find their own artistic path.
