POST-GRADUATE STUDY IN CHOREOGRAPHY/ NEW MEDIA IN AMSTERDAM

Established in 2002, Dance Unlimited (DU) Amsterdam is a unique two-year post-graduate program supporting the practical and theoretical study of the relationship between choreography, performance, and new media/ emerging technologies.

The program takes as its starting point the development of strong and sophisticated choreographic work from which to extend and test the boundaries of choreographic practice, application and thought. New media/ emerging technologies are approached from this perspective with an emphasis on representation and perception of the body in physical and mediated spaces. Theoretical and critical reflection is used as a means to challenge and support the practical work.

The program combines traditional and innovative approaches including lectures, training sessions and workshops, individual study and peer-to-peer contexts for discussion and debate, the development of documentation strategies and practical studio based research.
