Theoretical framework in the Master’s studies

Theoretical studies provide a place to reflect on, explore and research topical discourses, methodologies, and conceptual tools within choreography and performance and in relation to larger societal and philosophical contexts.

In the theoretical studies we acknowledge art as a significant historical, cultural, contextual and situated practice that reflects and promotes diverse societies. In the studies we focus on investigating the multiple ways choreography, dance and performance operate and create meaning as well as the conditions and environmental frameworks in which choreographers are working. One particular research focus is on the complex relationships between the conceptual frameworks and the material, performative actualisation of choreographic propositions.  

The studies consists of modules Perspectives on history and theory of choreography and performance, Artistic research and Art and society
