You are here – I am here

In this April's Editorial Friederike Lampert, one of the Mind the Dance researchers, takes us through her process of designing a new Master Degree Course in Dance, which is – starting in Septebmer 2018 – going to provide the profiles in Teaching and Coaching Dance Professionals or Choreography at the Zurich University of the Arts. "My interest," Friederike writers, "is making connections between different disciplines, widening the concept of choreography and focusing on artistic research in dance. Documentation will take an important role in these studies, as students will be working on their individual artistic or teaching profile[s]. In this regard, the digital publication of MINDTHEDANCE.com will be very helpful in offering versatile ways and concepts of documentation in dance." In her reflections, Friederike comes to ask a crucial question, the resolution to which is, I suppose, one we're all – in one way or another – looking for. "What do Master students of art studies want, what do they need? Tools, techniques, guidance, empowerment, encouragement?"
