Year 1 (45 ECTS)
Year 1 has an internally directed focus as students are guided by facilitators, lecturers, mentors and guest choreographers in developing their approach to the following:
- the potential trajectories and outcomes of artistic research
- taking a critical perspective on their own practices and disciplines with particular emphasis on the potential of co-creation
- testing potential questions, thinking creatively about modes of communication and generating movement based responses
- engaging with current theoretical, technological and design based perspectives
- entering into a productive discourse about their work
-
Year 2 (45 ECTS)
Year 2 has an externally directed focus where maker/choreographers test their acquired knowledge while developing creative and generative responses to alternative working contexts. At the end of the program the maker/choreographer will produce a final work that will be presented in a public context, this is supported by a thesis, exegesis, or exposition that documents their research process and places it within an appropriate theoretical or artistic context.
Year 2 highlights the following:
- the ability to engage in wider discourses
- gaining an enriched knowledge of contexts beyond their own discipline and the challenges, strategies and potential of creative work within those contexts
- developing a repertoire of individual creative strategies and the ability to reflect on and generate ‘choreography’ related to these strategies
