Course content
Students will be given theoretical and methodological tools to study and analyse transmission processes in dance and historic traces of dance. They select some dance material, transcribe it and continue to learn it practically from film. Applying their tools, they write brief reports supported by audio-visual documentation. They also present their material orally, supplementing it with practical dance demonstrations and how the processes they studied functioned from pedagogical and safeguarding perspectives. In this way the module will sum up what they learned in earlier modules, add a new dimension and frame it as a combined practical and methodological task. They will also receive an introduction to historiography with material from the Dance history of Europe and particularly the Nordic countries.
