******************

POST-GRADUATE STUDY IN CHOREOGRAPHY/ NEW MEDIA IN AMSTERDAM

Established in 2002, Dance Unlimited (DU) Amsterdam is a unique two-year post-
graduate program supporting the practical and theoretical study of 
the relationship
between choreography, performance, and new media/ emerging technologies.

The program takes as its starting point the development of strong and 
sophisticated
choreographic work from which to extend and test the boundaries of 
choreographic
practice, application and thought. New media/ emerging technologies 
are approached
from this perspective with an emphasis on representation and 
perception of the body in
physical and mediated spaces. Theoretical and critical reflection is 
used as a means to
challenge and support the practical work.

The program combines traditional and innovative approaches including lectures,
training sessions and workshops, individual study and peer-to-peer contexts for
discussion and debate, the development of documentation strategies 
and practical
studio based research.
