Hear from a tutor and student about studying Dance at Liverpool Hope. Dance at Liverpool Hope investigates social, historical and cultural meanings of dance. You will also explore the many traditions that make up local and global 21st-century dance culture. The course will give you the opportunity to try a range of dance forms and to develop your choreographic and performance skills. We have established relationships with Merseyside Dance Initiative, Taciturn and Tmesis dance companies, and Milapfest, an outstanding Indian performing arts company, is resident at the Capstone Theatre on the Creative Campus. This means that our students benefit from classes with working professionals across a range of dance traditions and practices.
The Dance programme will enable you to develop skills in choreography and performance practice, by studying western theatre dance alongside performance traditions of non-western cultures. Dance practices are viewed within a framework of informing ideas, histories and skills, and emphasise student creativity, performance and production.
The course has a particular focus on cultural pluralism, studying performance traditions from non-western cultures and their presence, meanings and use in 21st century UK society. Your course will integrate practical work (performance, creation, design and presentation of dance) with theoretical studies (analytical, historical, critical and contextual).
Throughout your degree, you will continue to expand your understanding of, and practice in dance, technically, creatively, and critically. You will interrogate choreographic traditions and associated contextual studies and take courses in studio practice and critical studies. Finally, you will take advanced courses in studio practice and critical studies which prepare you for work as an independent dancer or choreographer.
