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.
