Course content

Dance Training 2 is a core part of the programme that delivers a range of inputs from several different guest teachers throughout the year. Students experience a series of contemporary, classical and improvisation movement styles in order to explore their own movement potential and artistic vision.
Students fully participate in all movement styles delivered by all contemporary and classical teachers and search for their personal awareness and connectivity within each movement style.
Many aspects of training will be addressed including strength, connectivity, awareness, physical intelligence, floor work, standing work, articulation, spatial awareness, intensity, safe practice, movement qualities, movement intent, increased tempo and complexity, amongst others.
Students will also experience a range of teaching methodologies and will explore their personal connections to each method. Students will be encouraged to explore their mind-body connection through increasing their body consciousness and sensing through embodied practice. Students should reflect on the range of practices experienced in order to begin to identify their own personal movement voice and preferences.
