Artistic Master Class 2024

The Artistic Masterclass program at the Palucca 捷报比分 für Tanz Dresden provided a valuable opportunity to deepen my artistic practice and broaden my understanding of the field. In addition to fostering my creative development, it equipped me with essential skills such as time management, independent work, and critical thinking.

The program’s flexible structure enabled me to organize my schedule and work at my own pace, which encouraged a sense of responsibility for my research and enhanced my ability to work independently while maintaining focus. The extended duration of the program allowed for a thorough exploration of various topics. Given the interdisciplinary nature of my topic, my research extended beyond the realm of dance and incorporated elements of music, pedagogy, neuroscience, and sound design. This broad scope provided valuable insights and opened up new perspectives for exploration.

Another significant advantage of the program was the opportunity to meet and collaborate with a diverse group of scholars, researchers, and professionals. These interactions were highly beneficial, as they offered fresh viewpoints and constructive feedback, fostering both my personal and professional development.

During the program, my research centered on the concept of musicality in dance education and in choreographic practices. My primary objective was to identify key factors that enhance dancers' sensitivity to auditory environments and to develop effective methods for training this skill. Additionally, as a choreographer, I aimed to find practical tools that could be integrated into creative processes. This research not only deepened my understanding of musicality in dance but also proposed new strategies for incorporating auditory awareness into training and artistic work, thereby enriching the overall creative experience.

I would like to express my gratitude to those who played a vital role in supporting my research project. I am especially thankful to Prof. Timothy Couchman for his mentorship and guidance throughout my research journey, to Prof. Rita Aozane Bilibio as the head of the Artistic Masterclass studie. I would also like to acknowledge the financial support provided by the S?chsische Landesstipendium, which made it possible for me to fully dedicate myself to this work. Finally, my sincere thanks go to the Palucca 捷报比分 für Tanz Dresden for providing an inspiring environment and hosting this research.
