#Qualification
This nationally recognised qualification takes a holistic approach to building the skills and experience required for a sustainable career in dance.
Led by a team of industry professionals, the course provides excellence in training and performance with four pillars of focus:
Creative Practice / students will expand their understanding of creative practice and develop their unique artistic voices through exposure to a broad range of choreographic processes including improvisation and task work. Understanding and experiencing collaboration, and the associated skills, will be key to their development.
Physical Practice / students will develop and refine their skills in a variety of contemporary and classical techniques, bolstered by conditioning and somatic practices. Through the pursuit of excellence, the training will create skilful, versatile and dynamic dance artists.
Multidisciplinary Practice / students will work across a range of mediums and environments to develop their skills in creating for and collaborating within digital, site-specific and non-traditional settings.
Performance outcomes are embedded in the program. As well as their own dedicated performance season, students will have opportunities to understudy/perform in ADC Mainstage seasons and access to ADC's Artistic team, Company Artists as well guest choreographers and creatives for ADC seasons.
