专业概况

在这里学什么？

Designed for students seeking world-class dance studies within a major research university that offer multiple avenues for investigating the permeable boundaries between practice and theory. The degree is aimed at outstanding recent dance graduates as well as returning professionals, particularly those seeking to move from careers at the national/international level in performance or choreography to working in higher education.

Curriculum

Each MFA candidate works with an individual advisor to outline his or her individual course of study. Classes in physical practice, pedagogy, and dance history support the tracks.

Track

Students choose from one of three tracks:

Performance/Repertory Choreography Screen Dance

Improvisation; advanced solo choreography and performance; choreographic production and design; site dance; screen dance; dance and the related arts; and a broad range of physical practice courses provide in-depth experiences for honing the dance artist’s vocabulary, craft and vision.

Electives

Dance Science Dance History Dance Education Interdisciplinary Arts

Research in Action

All students take a Research in Action core, where students, faculty, and guest artists share their creative and scholarly work.

Cognates

Students must take two graduate courses of at least two credits each.

Thesis

The MFA culminates in a thesis project linked to each student’s chosen track.

Residency Requirement

At least one academic year of full-time residence is required.

Cohort

Our MFA program is limited to four students per year, for a total of eight students. This small cohort enables us to offer our graduate students close mentoring with distinguished faculty members; dedicated studio investigation time; a pool of highly trained and disciplined undergraduate dancers with whom the graduate students have many opportunities to collaborate; and guidance through the many rich resources of a premiere research institution. Grants are given to support summer research and the culminating thesis project.

Creative Collaborations

Our MFA is located within a vibrant artistic and intellectual community. Collaborations with composers, set and costume designers, playwrights and poets, photographers, and film/video makers are plentiful within our School of Music, Theatre, & Dance (SMTD). Dance MFA candidates engage with graduate students from a range of disciplines and are regularly involved in co-sponsored projects and courses within and beyond SMTD.

MFA applicants have received generous funding for international and national creative research by applying for grants available throughout the university. Dance faculty and MFA students frequently present their research and creative work at professional venues, as well as at national and international conferences.

Career Strategies

Students are guided to consolidate and deepen their artistic practice in ways that help them imagine further career paths in areas including higher education, the non-profit sector, or work beyond the US. Over the two years, students develop digital portfolios to highlight their artistic and scholarly achievements, positioning them well for entering/reentering the professional world.
