Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln Cologne · North Rhine-Westphalia

About the Program

The Bachelor of Arts Dance degree program trains individual dance artists and dance mediators with their own profile. The teaching content and formats are diverse: practical and application-oriented tools are just as much a part of the course as interdisciplinary, international and intercultural aspects of dance. The aim is to enable students to advance their artistic research into physicality and movement, to position themselves in their future professional field and to be prepared for its demands. The program focuses on contemporary dance practices, theoretical/discursive context, and professionalization. Students develop subject-specific and interdisciplinary skills, which they apply, reflect on and analyze both individually and collectively. They develop creative and critical ways of thinking and viewing contemporary dance practices and combine them with their own artistic practice.
