The Bachelor’s Degree in Dance provides a space in which students explore the body as a fundamental means of creating meaning in relation to other bodies. The program integrates historical and philosophical perspectives while maintaining an inseparable relationship between thought and action.
The Dance degree program conceives of the student’s body as an interface through which thought and movement are articulated, creating opportunities for research, creation, and experimentation. The program offers a broad range of physical, creative, theoretical, and historical practices through which developing performer-creators strengthen their physical and cognitive abilities. Students will also critically examine what dance, choreography, and dance education are—and what they might become—within the specific context of Ecuador and in dialogue with the global dance scene.
Graduates of the Dance degree program will have the tools to develop processes of movement research and performance composition, supported by a critical and reflective framework that enables them to create projects in, for, and about dance with the aim of transforming and advancing the field. Graduates will also be able to build collaborative networks that support creation, teaching, research, and other dance-related activities through active and purposeful engagement.
The School of Performing Arts brings together faculty members whose sustained work in arts research and artistic creation—whether focused on practice, theory, or both—supports the ongoing renewal of artistic languages and the development of distinctive pedagogical approaches to teaching and sharing knowledge in the performing arts. The School brings together faculty trained at established academic institutions and artists with distinguished careers developed outside traditional academic settings. This balance is essential to the profile of the students the program seeks to cultivate.

Para Nohla Lynch, llevar a escena “Un hombre es un hombre” de Bertolt Brecht dentro de su formación en Creación Teatral en la UArtes representó una transición decisiva entre su amplia trayectoria previa como actriz y su consolidación como creadora. Se presentó con compañeros de la carrera en el marco de «Aula Escena» y asumió la interpretación de la viuda Begbick, la narración y el canto. Ella comparte la experiencia.
