“No Map for This” A powerful dance performance about the invisible lines that connect you to where you come from and how you search for your own path without losing yourself. Can you stay loyal to your background without being trapped by it? This energetic and emotional performance explores growing up between different cultures, rules, expectations, and voices. Everyone, parents, school, your surroundings, has an opinion about who you should be. But what do you want? How do you find freedom in who you are, without breaking away from everything you know? The performance gives space to what often goes unspoken: the tension between who you are and who you’re becoming, between home and the world, between tradition and change. Not a standard rebellion, but a search for your own story, no matter how complex that may be. Buy tickets here .
> Home Research Research at Codarts Explanation Research at Codarts Artistic development, the arts practice, and arts education benefit from research. Codarts is convinced the arts practice is in need of validated knowledge and that this is also developed within. Codarts’ mission and vision are reflected in the research profile of Codarts Research, formulated as: “Codarts Research focuses on practice-oriented research in the domain of the performing arts, art education, dance therapy, and music therapy.” The research conducted by Codarts Research has three goals: enhancing the knowledge level of students and staff; improving education; innovating the professional practice. Codarts Research has a multidisciplinary research team with expertise in many domains, such the performing arts, art education, dance therapy, music therapy, human movement sciences, physiotherapy, psychology, statistics, technology, ICT, the humanities, and artistic research. All of the researchers in the group and in the PhD processes have at least a Master’s degree. Professors have obtained their PhD, with the exception of the professor Performance Practice. Three programme lines Codarts has structured the content of its research programme according to three programme lines: Excellence and Well-being : This program line focuses on two primary research areas: "Arts for Well-being" and "Healthy Artists," which aim to enhance well-being through the arts and address the physical and mental challenges that artists face. Performance Practice: this programme line studies the actual professional practice and how this practice may develop in the long run, anticipating the highly changed work field; Innovation in Education: research into the various forms of knowledge transfer, how to make art education more accessible and how to mobilise young talents. Basic principles In order to give coherence to the various programme lines, three basic principles have been articulated, which make up the foundation for the research conducted within Codarts Research: all research projects are demand-driven and are carried out on the basis of questions and problems posed by the performing arts, art education, dance therapy, and music therapy. In addition, the projects of the programme line Innovation in Education also address complex societal issues on which artists and scientists work together. The goal of this collaboration is to (re)identify and (re)define these issues, thereby providing multiple leads for possible solutions; within all research projects there must be at least interdisciplinary collaboration among professionals from, for example, the performing arts, art education, dance therapy, music therapy, sports, the business world, care and/or education; researchers work application-oriented, which means that the results of projects (knowledge, insights, products, or processes) are applicable in education or in the work field of the performing arts, art education, dance therapy, or music therapy.
