Contents
The content of the course of Didactics and Methodology of Modern and Contemporary Dance 6 consists of two complementary parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is aimed at systematically expanding the professional knowledge in the field of methodology of contemporary dance and movement systems, by analysing their basic movement principles and didactic procedures. The course also includes practical exercises, serving to verify the theoretical information and consolidate pedagogical skills in the framework of self-directed teaching by a particular student under the supervision of a teacher. The teaching emphasizes the way of construction of practical lessons of different types, the ability to logically arrange the individual dance elements and to connect them in a meaningful way in dance links designed for different levels of performers.
