Contents
The course creates the conditions for learning to move consciously in the present body and mind. On the basis of one's own immediate experience, one becomes aware of the basic principles of dance medicine, i.e. elimination of excess effort and tension, increase in speed, flexibility, stability, communication, etc.
The aim of the study
- is to get to know one's own body and its possibilities as a communication tool so that the body becomes a source of communication
- to understand the basic principles related to the health of the dancer
- to be oriented in the basic anatomical, biomechanical and motor principles related to dance training
- develop theoretical and research skills and apply them to one's own teaching practice, i.e. be able to select adequate conditioning and somatic practices and use them appropriately
The student will produce a written analysis and reflection on the topic according to the thematic headings. The student presents an example of practical application to the topics. Observes and creates a record of practical outcomes where dance medicine principles are applied in a school or arts professional setting in both written and visual form.
