Description:

The new MFA in Dance Program: Choreography | Collaboration | Creation, truly reflects the way many contemporary artists are working. This student-centered intensive two-year program requires that you, with other graduate students from a wide-range of disciplines and diverse skill-sets, form collaborative teams, successfully creating, producing and presenting your own work. The program will provide you with the theoretical and technical knowledge necessary to create multi-disciplinary performance art. You will find encouragement for the integration of digital media and leading-edge interactive technologies with live performance from both the faculty and your fellow students. During your first-year, you will be taking ‘critical-skill’ courses. In the Department of Dance this includes: Initiating, Forming and Performing Choreography, Methods & Materials of Movement Observation, Dance Video, Lighting Design and the Interactive Stage. You may then choose additional courses from other areas that will benefit your creative journey (music, theatre, digital media, film etc.).
