The coherence between art subjects: Research prompts What are the values of art disciplines, such as dance, music, visual art, literature and theatre, in the world? When is there coherence between these disciplines and what connects them? When is it meaningful for the different art disciplines to interact and when is this not meaningful? In other words, what are the boundaries for art disciplines to strengthen each other? How can dancers and visual artists work together in a productive way? How does music and literature invigorate each other? When is an interdisciplinary art project fulfilling its artistic goals and how do you structure such a project? During the Dance Artist Development Program, you will get the chance to do in depth research regarding these questions or develop your own artistic questions. You will become critically engaged with the complex cultural and social contexts of art disciplines, furthering your own artistic development together with your peers and alongside the DiA Junior Company. With the training program that DiA has to offer, dancers and choreographers will deepen their knowledge in a number of sources contiguous with the art of dance, such as philosophy, visual arts, music and literature. You will get the opportunity to interrogate and challenge your own dance experiences whilst deepening you understanding of how interdisciplinary forms of art can be of practical use within the wider context of current art education and dance performances. You will achieve these objectives through a sustained engagement with choreographic experimentation and exploration.
