INTRODUCTION The Bachelor of Arts (Dance) program addresses the development of the dance leader. The course has been designed to encourage students to pursue individual goals as dance artists, choreographers, teachers, or researchers.
BA (Dance) is an intensive and challenging course with performance and classroom practice that are central to the philosophy of the program. Degree study provides an insight into dance as an art form and a social and educative experience. It develops skills in communication, critical thinking, research and analysis and demands that students be creatively productive in whatever area of interest they pursue.
Provision is made for students with dance backgrounds other than ballet and contemporary, such as classical Indian dance, to audition and continue to study in their specialist dance style.
BA (Dance) is an accepted prerequisite for Honours, Masters and Doctoral programs in performance research as well as for the Graduate Diploma of Education which provides the necessary qualifications for those who aim to work within the State Education School system. |
