Overview

Each summer, the Dance program departs from a traditional educational format by proposing instead the manifestation of temporary schools that create and enliven experimental pedagogies. Through international residencies, workshops, and symposia, the The University of the Arts MFA fosters critical conversations about the meanings, purposes, and potentialities of Dance and performance in contemporary society.

Program Features

Both rigorous and intensive, our approach relies on situational pedagogies and the gathering of relational communities.

The program moves against conventional thinking about academic learning environments utilizing the University of the Arts School of Dance’s long standing relationships to and connections with world recognized artists, scholars and cultural institutions.

With the challenge to examine the role of Dance and dance making in the community at large, the Study Group component of the program is built on the assumption that new practices are still in the making, and that the students will work alongside faculty mentors & community partners to create new methodologies.
