The Dance program is a space in which the student discovers his or her body as a fundamental tool to create meaning in relation to other bodies. The training is interwoven with historical and philosophical content and the desire to not divide action and thought.
The Dance program understands the student's body as an interface where his or her thought and action-movement are articulated, and from there, the opening to investigative-creative-experimental paths is triggered. The program allows a transition through a spectrum of physical, creative, theoretical and historical practices, with which the performer-creator in training enhances his own physical and cognitive skills. It will also critically address what dance, choreography and teaching in this area are and can be in the specific context of Ecuador, in dialogue with the global scene.
Graduates of the Dance program have the necessary tools to develop kinetic research and scenic composition processes, as well as a critical-reflexive apparatus that allows them to generate projects in/for/about dance, with the purpose of transforming and innovating the field. The future professional will also be able to generate collaborative networks to support processes of creation, teaching, research or others related to dance, from an active and proactive participation.
The School of Performing Arts has teachers who combine both sustained work in the field of research-creation, either with emphasis on practice and/or theory, which allow them to constantly renew the language from which they work, as well as knowledge to configure a unique pedagogy that contributes to the development of the transmission practices of performing arts knowledge in which they are inscribed. The School brings together teachers trained in historically legitimized academic spaces and artists with important trajectories established outside such sites, which is fundamental to give meaning to the student profile sought by the program.

“Mirar los resultados alcanzados por la Universidad de las Artes evidencia un trabajo sostenido y una comunidad comprometida con expandir los límites del conocimiento artístico”, dijo la presidenta del CACES, Dra. Ximena Córdova, en el acto de entrega a la UArtes del Certificado de Cualificación Académica en el campo específico de artes, un hito para nuestra institución que, en un proceso voluntario, técnico y transparente, demostró calidad superior en investigación.
Como un momento simbólico de agradecimiento al Consejo de Educación Superior (CES) por la apertura y el apoyo brindados a la Universidad de las Artes señaló nuestro rector, doctor William Herrera, a la reunión que propició con el presidente del ente, Dr. Pablo Beltrán; las vicerrectoras, Dras. Olga López y Ana Gabriela Rivadeneira; y las nuevas máximas autoridades UArtes, elegidas mediante sufragio el pasado 2 de diciembre: doctores Saidel Brito, Yulianela Pérez y Andrey Astaiza.
“Propósitos textuales”. Es la propuesta que hace el CEAT de la Universidad de las Artes en este diciembre, a fin de recibir el 2026 con la misma o mayor energía con la que celebraremos lo bueno que este año nos ha entregado. Junto al pendón del CEAT (tercer piso de la Biblioteca de las Artes) está en el extremo de la mampara un buzón y una cajita con una hoja muy especial donde habrá un espacio para escribir el nombre, el correo institucional y, finalmente —y lo más importante—, el propósito textual. Al final de este texto su autora comparte algunas ideas.
