This module explores recent dance performances and/or ‘events’ as a starting point for working backwards/outwards to explore relevant theoretical ideas and concepts that have an impact on dance. You are, therefore, encouraged to explore and debate wider themes and trends that affect dances and dancing.
These perspectives will be explored in relation to the dance artists’ identity and context and through an analysis and evaluation of the work that is produced.
You will be asked to consider these theoretical ideas in relation to a variety of artistic responses and a range of political agendas, and will consider how they are relevant to you as a future dance artist and how you might apply the principles explored to your own practice.
