Dance Training from Creative Impulse
The Semester in Dance at the Accademia is a great opportunity for students to gain access to creative tools as well as the dance analysis that is currently shaping international dance research today. In addition to dance methods, practices, theories and techniques, the semester will include inter-disciplinary courses and collaborative practices between Theatre, Philosophy, Music and Visual Arts. Our Semester in Dance program proposes a progressive training approach in dance to better prepare students for the complex world of the performing arts.
Every Fall and Spring semester, Accademia dell’Arte offers a unique, dynamic dance program designed in partnership with Professor Karen Dearborn at Muhlenberg College.
Students will work intimately with our Dance Faculty, led by Choreographer and Dance Program Coordinator Alessio Trevisani. Our diverse faculty is comprised of virtuosic European-based choreographers and performers who challenge students to engage in experimentation and mentor their individual artistic development. The program offers conservatory-style training in a study abroad format. Students will focus on process of creation and choreographic content, combining a variety of dance techniques, somatic modules and ambitious composition labs.
