Overview This major assumes a wide definition of dance and performance, and students are encouraged to study broadly. This program considers not just the aesthetic dimension of dance and performance, but also their social, cultural, historical, and metaphorical frameworks. To develop confidence in working independently as artists, you are given opportunities to explore your own dance and performance making, combining theoretical and conceptual understandings with practical production experience. The diversity of this non-traditional approach to dance and performance provides a skill set that broadens your career opportunities. We encourage you to ask how you can apply embodied principles, choreographic skills and collaborative practices in other fields beyond the stage. KEY FEATURES Transferable skill-sets and knowledge developed inside and outside studio practice: useful both for professional creative practice and careers in a multitude of arts industries High-quality well-appointed facilities: students have access to a dance studio with sprung floor and a drama studio equipped with 'intelligent' lighting, surround sound, and HD data projector. You will also have access to industry-standard technologies and digital production tools in media and music. A flexible construction: allows you to explore a range of units across the University in order to combine your other interests with dance and performance theory and practice. Career Opportunities A Macquarie course can set your dream career in motion.
