Subject Overview:

This subject will provide students with the opportunity to devise and implement a teaching, choreographic or research project within the VCA or in an external context. Students will negotiate a contract with the subject coordinator, and, if the project is external to the VCA, with other relevant supervisors. Teaching experience contracts will be a minimum of 12 classes x 1.5 hours. Choreographic contracts will require the creation of a short dance between 4 and 7 minutes in length. For Research Contract students will design research topics allied to their central discipline and relating to, or incorporating pedagogy and teaching methodology. Independent Projects will normally be in the same dance style as the students course. Typical external self devised contracts may involve teaching/choreographing in a private Dance School , or for a community Dance Project. A typical Research Contract might investigate Dance Therapy or the teaching of Pas de Deux.
