THE COURSE

Module: Contextual Studies

The contextual studies module widens and deepens the student’s knowledge and understanding of the world of theatrical dance and thus ultimately enhances their performance standards.

On a practical level, an important objective of this module is to help students to gain greater understanding of how their bodies work and how musicality and technique can be developed to optimise their own physiques and minimise the risk of injury during training and in performance.

Subjects covered by this module of theoretical studies include Anatomy for the Dancer, Dance History, Music in Relation to Dance, Performance Psychology, Nutrition, Health and Safety at Work, and Employment Contract Terms and Conditions.
