Announcing the 12th annual Dance Your Ph.D. - Science.

The Co-investigators are Dr. Emma Redding, Head of Dance Science at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and Professor Sarah Whatley, Director of the Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University. The PhD studentships provide a unique opportunity to study a highly select population over a period of time. Moreover, it is an.

PhD students engage deeply in history, theory, literature, and writing of dance scholarship as informed by individual backgrounds and coursework. The PhD in Dance Studies can take four to six years to complete, depending on research interest and methodolgies for the dissertation.

Advanced Standing: Students who enter the Ph.D. program in Dance may be considered for advanced standing, based on relevant coursework. The Dance Doctoral Faculty Committee, with approval of the Associate Dean, awards credits toward advanced standing on a case-by-case basis in the first year of full-time study. The maximum number of advanced.

Our Centre for Dance Research critically interrogates dance practices, cultures and works, developing scholarly, practical and public understanding of dance and choreography in their myriad forms. As strong advocates for dance, we push the boundaries of thinking about and through its practice.

Applications are invited for a PhD research project investigating the experiences of female dancers in the UK. Whilst female dancers often constitute the majority of participants in dance psychology research, the impact of gender is less often considered in any depth unless the focus is on eating disorders.

Dance Your Ph.D. is an annual contest which challenges scientists to interpret their PhD research as dance. The contest was started in 2008 by science journalist John Bohannon, under the auspices of continuing sponsors Science Magazine and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The winners are chosen by an expert panel of scientists and artists.

Our Ph.D. in Dance is a research-oriented program culminating in a written dissertation that contributes new knowledge to the field of Dance Studies. Strong applicants to our program have a clear research agenda that is a good match for our program’s faculty and coursework, and a commitment to contributing to the dance field through written.

For instance, dance science students often go on to pursue graduate degrees in physical therapy, dance medicine or kinesiology. It’s also common for dancers with science backgrounds to work as teachers, personal trainers or somatic instructors while performing. Of course, dance science programs vary in terms of focus and course requirements.

Focusing on the area of dance science, Fran Leaver’s research and publications are in the area of how to develop a multidisciplinary approach to the dance student, one that combines a holistic approach to teaching dance as an art form and as a science.

This article examines methods of improving the dance technique class by applying principles from the dance sciences. A brief history of the development of dance science as a field separate from sport science is included. The text focuses on the areas of exercise physiology, dance psychology, and motor control and motor learning. The paper.

Duration. The maximum registration for a PhD programme is four years with full-time study, or eight years with part-time study. Assessment. All PhD students are initially registered for a Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and the PhD registration is confirmed after the successful completion of an upgrade assessment (at the end of year 1 for full-time students and year 2 for part-time study).

The Dance Psychology Lab carries out research in four broad areas as it relates to the psychology of dance and dancers.
