在四年的学习中，我们的学生有机会制作和表演原创作品。我们提供各种表演机会，从学生安排和创作的非正式音乐会到与国内外艺术家和教师的高水平表演。我们致力于为专业学生提供这些机会，因为他们认为学习如何以个人和公司成员的身分开展工作是他们为职业生涯做准备的基础。作曲和协作是舞蹈领域和整个学校的重要活动，我们在许多课程中都鼓励跨学科项目。现在我们位于温哥华市中心，我们希望继续通过诸如学徒计划和客座艺术家计划等平台，加深我们现有的联系并与本地，国家和国际舞蹈界建立新的联系。鼓励学生利用学校内的跨学科课程。由于许多课程
The School for the Contemporary Arts offers a Dance program in contemporary dance training, creation, and performance that is uniquely interdisciplinary, intercultural, and that caters to today’s imaginative dance artist. We are looking for students interested in exploring multiple and creative ways of approaching contemporary movement and composition, and in expanding their versatility with the challenge of reshaping the landscape of the contemporary dance scene.Our program is open to those who come from so-called ‘classical,’ ‘modern,’ or ‘contemporary’ studio training, as well as those with movement practices that fall outside those codified forms. Studio courses provide theoretical approaches to training using a variety of methods and techniques that are also integrated into courses on composition, improvisation, collaboration, and performance. Our lecture courses follow the same principle: they not only provide historical and aesthetic contexts for critical thinking based on our concept of practice-as-research, they also allow our students freedom to question those contexts with information from their own socio-cultural backgrounds and experiences. Collaboration is a key aspect of our program and we encourage our students to work across other disciplines in the SCA — Film, Music & Sound, Theatre Performance, Theatre Production & Design, Visual Art, and Art, Performance & Cinema Studies — to produce new, exciting cross-disciplinary projects.
