The programme has been designed in response to feedback from students on both the MAPP DTP and the BA Professional Practice (arts) programmes concerning the transition from vocational training, performance work, independent practice, studio teaching into studying within a university environment and being able to confidently share rich bodies of experiential knowledge through academic writing.The programme intends to address these transitions through a mix of studio (practical) dance classes and classroom sessions; accessing and developing literature reviews, citation methods, academic writing structures and written expression of physical experiences, engaging with social media and web 2.0 online developing confidence in online learning and sharing.
Each day will begin with a movement class followed by sessions looking at text, research skills and writing to help students develop confidence in what they have to offer as academic students and to encourage students to draw on their somatic knowing of movement to inform their ideas and writing.
Please do contact myself or Adesola if you have any questions or need further information on this.
