Choreography is RESEARCH

A Dissertation Performance with Dagmar Spain & her participants (dancers): Cosma Alvarez, Maria Banaszak, Louis Flothman, Karolina Grygarová, Marlene Schomberg & Rozálie Stárová

˜

This Performance is the accumulation of a year-long dissertation research project that started in March 2023. Its focus is on the reflection of former pre-professional dance students on their education, how they distill future visions and identify the impact that education had on their lives. It is conducted as part of the doctoral program in dance education at Teachers College/Columbia University, New York, which Dagmar Spain (researcher, dancer, and dance educator) started in 2020.

We invite dance students and dance educators, and anyone who is interested in the future of dance education to share the results of this dissertation project in the Lake Studios on February 17th, 2024, at 6 pm. We want to have a dialogue after the performance with all of you about the meanings and practices of dance education in our current times. We hope that you can join, and for any questions, please email .

This performance is free, and we accept donations!
