Choreomundus - International Master in Dance Knowledge, Practice, and Heritage
2 year joint master (24 months), Université Clermont Auvergne, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, Szegedi Tudomanyegyetem, University of Roehampton London
The programme investigates dance and other movement systems (ritual practices, martial arts, games and physical theatre) as Intangible Cultural Heritage within the broader contexts of Ethnochoreology, the Anthropology of Dance, Dance Studies, and Heritage Studies.
Choreomundus investigates dance and other movement systems. The program focuses on fieldwork and engages with a variety of theoretical and methodological frameworks. The programme provides practical skills in formal analysis of movement, motion capture, documentation, and evaluation of dances, thereby developing an appreciation of dance that is comparative, cross-cultural, applied, and embodied.
Employment opportunities exist worldwide within public and private organisations responsible for the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) and within higher education and research. Choreomundus alumni are working within the heritage and cultural tourism industries, including interactive museums.
Choreomundus is an integrated joint European programme, promoted and taylor-made by the four partner universities . All four institutions, therefore, take full responsibility for the whole programme and not just the section they deliver.
